Flat Earth Q&A / Stars and Constellations - Explain?
« on: January 09, 2010, 02:32:27 PM »
i've thouroughly read your FAQ and find no answer to explain, or rather fault aristotles findings of Travelers going south seeing southern constellations rise higher above the horizon. And also, why is the southern cross constellation only visible mainly in the southern hemisphere of earth?
I live in australia and see it every night, so i know it exists. And have travelled to the northern hemisphere numerous times, and have been unable to find the constellation. For a round earth, this occurs since the constellation, in relation to earth, is situated in a southerly direction, and thus is not visible in the northern vicinties of earth, as a direct line of sight is obstucted by earth. This also supports aristotles work, in relation to proving the earth is round.
For a FE, how does this occur?
How is a constellation visible near the horizon in one country, while being directly above others in a different country? If the light does bend to produce this phenomenon, then where is the constellation
