I'd say it's up to you flat earther's to respond. The photos shown are exactly what is expected on the Globe.

Yes, for the Northern Hemisphere, but the Southern Hemisphere stars do exactly the same around the South Celestial Pole, except that they appear to rotate rotate clockwise.
How, do I know - I look out the back door and can see at least the brighter ones.

That would not be possible on your flat earth.

Really.  I'm sorry but I must have missed it.  How does FE explain the movement of the stars in the northern and Southern Hemisphere?

they produce the light in the firmament(the dome,the lense)the lense then concentrates the light down giving us the sun and the moon
They what?

By "the lense then concentrates the light down giving us the sun and the moon"
::) do you seriously mean that the stars produce all the light for the sun and moon?  ::)
i hope they do,i hope so ::)
Would you please explain what medium causes all that light to be focused into objects like this:

its not an object that is a fake picture i promise you

Picture is real, taken by a third-party hobbyist with a nice camera setup.

You have yet to explain the picture aside from calling it fake.

If you think it is fake, explain why it is.

Look at the moon through a telescope. It is a sphere.

Clearly the government has infiltrated the telescope industry, and installs small ludicrous-high-defenition moniters inside them and motion trackers to sense where the telescopes are pointing, so that they can give exactly the image they want.

Has  this been going on ever since telescopes were first invented ?

In FE, stars are rotating around Polaris (or north celestial pole) on circular orbits.

Don't ask me how far they are, because all answers that I saw made no sense vs observations.

so they circle in a similar manner to how the sun does in the FE model? so are they also much closer to the earth then? and smaller too?

any FEs want to chime in on this too?

In FE model we have Dome above us, Sun and Moon are all the time
some 3000 miles above the ground, and the Dome is above them.

Stars are small, glued to the Dome. Dome rotates, and stars with it. Several "wandering stars"
(planets, their moons, asteroids, commets...) are flying around off their leash.

Some weird optics shows Sun, Moon and Stars at the places where they are not,
so they all look like "setting" or "rising" when are too far from observer.

That is because of properties of light itself.
Celestial light emitted from celestial bodies curves, because of boomerang-photons.
When celestial light hits something (say, pocket mirror) it is not curved any more,
because boomerang-photons get squished and lose ability to curve.

I just don't understand how are those boomerang-photons, before get squished,
so well trained to fly in formation, instead of getting scattered all over the place.
(If you fire coins from shotgun, they do get scattered beyond any aiming.)

I think I  just found the first thing on any of intikam's posts that makes sense :
Quote: "I just don't understand"
Apply that to just about anything and everything from intikam......LOL
IMHO anything and everything from intikam belongs in "Complete Nonsense" .....LOL

Yes, but that was no help at all because already

I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus;

                 From "The Pirates of Penzance" by Gilbert and Sullivan.
Though I'm not really "very good at integral . . . . . calculus"!

This is Q&A and YOU have set yourself up as the "ultimate authority", so we are asking how do the stars in the Southern Hemisphere appear to rotate clockwise about the Southe Celestial Pole.
And explain how that South Celestial Pole is exactly due south of everyone, though only those in the Southern Hemisphere can see the point in the sky where it is.

So answer some question in your own words!

Sure, but you did not attempt to answer my question!

And, yes, i can look out my back door and at least see the Southern Cross and it certainly appears to rotate about a point due south of here.

You're looking at a wrong sky.

Last time I've checked, stars are rotating around the celestial pole. This includes Polaris.

Last time I've checked, according to FE "model" starts would experience massive parallax effect when observer is moving towards the equator. Furthermore, orbits of those stars would clearly be elliptical, which is exactly what expected in FE "mode", but never observed in reality.

Whew, fun one.
There are a few answers to this one. There's the celestial gears model, which essentially models the gravitational influence of the stars as interlocking gears, so as one rotates the other rotates in the opposite direction. I just can't work out any clear way for the stars to be distributed between 'gears,' to get rotation around two points but that's one explanation.

The other explanation is in DET. a less-accepted model, but still. At a basic level, the idea is that the Earth is a two-sided disk, the edge being at the equator, so that you could easily get stars rotating above two points, one above and one below.
There's a whole host of things to say how the crossing of the equator works (though if you assume it's possible to cross, then the same would hold for light so we would observe stars rotating about two points near there), there's an explanation it's just quite a long aside for a question on a different topic.

Well, here's all you need to know about the stars according to Marciano, a FEer who still can't comprehend curvature.

There seems to be a lot of topics saying that a flat earth contradicts astronomy, but no one has tried making a working of the stars, or asking how they work.
So instead of saying stars can't work on your model. I want to ask you how do they work on your model. How do they move, do they increase in distance, how near do stars need to be for you to see them. How do you get around the SCP problem.

Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I mean after all, they're just lights in the sky.  How much can we expect to ever know about them?

In any case, you might like Zetetic Astronomy.  Zetetic means "seeker."  As in, seeker of truth.

Globe earthers have one model of the globe earth. How many models of the flat earth are in use?
