Polaris lies above the rotational pole of the earth and stays put throughout the day and night. this is compatible with north-centered FE. what about the southern hemisphere? sigma octantis ( i think it is) is rather faint but still lies above the south pole and stays still during a whole rotation. how is this possible with FE? the star would have to be simultaneously above every point on the edge.
tf?

It's an optical illusion... or something.  :roll:
