Dear Rabinoz,
If I am not mistaken, your question was, how and why we can see certain stars in the sky. I am just trying to help you, providing useful (I hope) hints. I do not want to exert any intellectual or propaganda pressure on you, for it could hamper and distort your mental development. I mean, if you are really interested in finding a suitable answer to your question, let your brain itself find it in the most natural and least painful way. I am not going to do any harm to you. Just relax and let the truth gradually penetrate your mind.
I have never seen a less humble, nor sanctimonious "scientist" than
Humble_Scientist. I imagine you did the course on "Humility and how I achieved it!" - I think it was at Pale Hernigy College - something like that, bit hard to remember. I think you must have failed to read the book "How to win friends and Influence People", at least I know that was by Dale Carnegie -
obviously I haven't read it!
And, no I don't need any assistance from you to find these answers.
Please note that the very fact you are here and speaking to me - means you do doubt your current perception of your life and the Universe. You do feel there's something wrong, you are trying to find a solution to your problems, and that is why you are posting here. There is no reason to deny that. There is nothing shameful in that. We all learn.
The real psychoanalyst aren't we! And, no that I am certainly not looking for a "solution to my problems". I am trying to get some answers from you about the OP of this thread!
Projecting an image seems to need something to project it on. What do you suggest for that?
and
The suggestion that this might be a projection is pure fantasy!
Look. First, you in fact admitted the possibility of that and even started to think how it might be done. Then, your internal RE-censor interfered and closed your mind. Relax and try to keep your mind open.
You read far too much into a few words. I guess that is to be expected from an obviously conspiracy fearing mind, always afraid this organisation or that is out to get you.
Sorry, I was just assuming that you would see this whole idea of a "projection is pure fantasy!" was purely fantasy!
Dig yourself in that direction and in the literature you'll find curious descriptions of some peculiar experiments, in which the government agencies were producing fumes, vapours etc. in the upper atmospheric layers, many years ago. How do you think, why they were doing that? Do you think they've stopped doing that? Do you think they're telling the public everything they are doing? Why, for example, noctilucent clouds were so seldom, if ever, noticed before the 20th century?
As I said
a conspiracy here, a conspiracy there, conspiracies, conspiracies everywhere! You claim that "for example, noctilucent clouds were so seldom, if ever, noticed before the 20th century?". Well,
firstly a bit of evidence that "noctilucent clouds " even exist and secondly how do you know that "were so seldom, if ever, noticed before the 20th century",
I suppose you were old enough to observe them first hand before 1900!"From all of these locations the South Celestial Pole is exactly due south from ALL of these locations!"
May I ask you, how do you know that? Have you been there, in ALL those locations, personally, at the same time?
No, I have not been there, but neither have you! I have read reports from observers in both places, and I have seen video of stars rotating about the South Celestial Pole from both Sydney Australia and from Chile.
"these southern constellations have been visible in exactly the way for centuries."
How do you know that? Why you're so sure the data could not be falsified? Did you observe the stars yourself, for centuries?
No, I am not going to claim that I was there! And yes, there are reports from explorers going back centuries. Falsified? Why?
Oh, sorry, it must have been another conspiracy to hide you precious Pepperoni Pizza Planet!
"As for the ISS please explain how it appears right "on cue" all over the world."
For instance, 'cause they are drawing it in the sky, that's how, - using one projector, then switching to another, all over the world. Do you think it's impossible?
And are you really suggesting that as possibility? Just how many millions of these projectors must there be around the earth.
And NO, I really did mean exactly what I said "These constellations are seen any time from any longitude whenever the sky is clear enough.". That is from Australia, South Africa and South America, though I should have said "whenever night the sky is clear enough"
Then they can not be seen from any longitude.
I gave those countries because that is where most observers are! But, how do you infer from "Then they can not be seen from
any longitude." from that. No, you can't see the stars on a
cloudy night, and no you cannot see the
stars in daytime 
(well occasionally Venus is visible near sunset or sunrise -
but that "little light in the sky" is a planet, not a star! ).
"the rotating globe needs a lot less magic than any flat earth model I have seen."
Yeah, yeah. Sure. Just one more example of the umost absurdity of that rotating globe, filled with molten dense magma. Let's admit for a brief moment, that RE is right, that globe is rotating and has two tidal bulbs on each side, about 1 meter high or so, as they teach us. The bulbs, filled with hot dense magma at immense pressure, covered with Earth crust made of the solid rock layer 10 to 50 km thick, are, therefore, moving under the surface of the globe with the speed of approximately 500 m/s (at the equator). Interesting, isn't it? You could calculate the volume and mass of those things yourself. Just a few questions:
How that dense magma can travel under the crust at 500 m/s? Otherwise, those tidal bulbs won't be moving.
Why the Earth crust is not cracking and we do not see cheerful fountains of pressurised magma (500 m/s!) at the equator, twice a day?
Why that magnificent process does not influence the acting volcanoes?
I don't think I mentioned tides. It's not a simple topic - and there's no way I am going to try to cover it here, like 2 tides a day and they lag the overhead moon, etc!
Maybe the Humble_Scientist can give some logical explanation.
Just remember that the Heliocentric Globe Model took around 2,000 years to "come to fruition", and many details much longer than that.
You will find that the
real humble scientists will concede that there are
still many details being determined - weather systems and under the oceans to name just a couple.
BTW if you do chance to reply:
- Leave the psychoanalysis gobbledygook out.
- Leave the conspiracy gobbledygook out.
- Present some evidence you have for what you claim.
- If you are going to criticise aspects of the globe model, get an understanding of if first.
- Possibly present just what your alternative to the Heliocentric Globe might be, with shape of your earth, paths of sun, moon, planets and stars
- It would be good to have a map for this, because mariners for over 600 years have been navigating the globe and the maps they produced fitted on a globe - that's why many ancient mariners actually took a large globe with them - gave them a better understanding of where they were on the earth's surface!
