I just took a close look at the picture and I have a question:

Why are the stars spinning in different directions?

I too am confused at this comment. How can you tell which direction they are spinning from the image - I don't see how its possible to tell at which point of the exposure they were at any given location based on the image itself.

By looking at the trails, the stars appear to be rotating in a counter clockwise direction.  However, there are at least two stars that are going clockwise.

They should all be spinning clockwise... I have no idea what you are seeing that makes you come to this conclusion. I can't figure out how tell which direction they are rotating simply by looking at the image...

Again, how are you getting which direction they're traveling? You'll see the start of the line from where the photo started and the end of the line from where the photo ended.

Depending on the position of the stars in the sky will depend on where the line curves around.

I'd give this one up if I were you.

ye that imaged is faked, because in the pyramid world there cant be south pole..


There could be a south square though, the base of the world. A pyramid world would be far more logical than a flat earth, simply because its more aerodynamic than a flat earth, and it would be easier to accelerate. Thats if you assume space isn't a vacuum, and is filled with trillions of tiny demons that try to slow the earth down. For ploughing through tiny space demons, pyramid earth PWNS flat earth.

Everything, is in EMBRYO, not in mathematics. 
Please look at the 1/4 moon when it's around at noon ; We cannot see anything between it and the sun.
