    Stardust here couldn't answer basic questions which refer motions in a Sun-centred system but then again, it wouldn't bother him anyway.

    Jawohl!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL_zPY-4srY&list=PLmx7HMepeSoXU1Az7tDHcaodz4UdsPfex&index=2

    At about 4 minutes 20 seconds in, the presenter asks where the stars go at night and the response is beneath the Earth. I would never insult Paul Alsing, however, there was a period when observers in this forum had trouble with observations as we faced
    the Sun during daylight hours and especially the planets. Apologies to Paul in advance as it is not meant to put him in a position, but rather reflective of what still remains in wider society and is perhaps absent today in this newsgroup-

    People must be truly desperate despite the fact that contemporary imaging makes proof of orbital motion such a spectacular sight to behold.

    Gerald, if you really think this is an image, you are dumber than a box of hammers. Just where was this photographer standing in order to get such a shot of Venus BELOW the Sun in his field of view?

    Nowadays, it is easier to appreciate that the stars go nowhere as the planet rotates or, more importantly, their position changes in respect to the central Sun as a function of the Earth's orbital motion-

    Ouch! Everybody knows that's where the stars go in the *daytime*, and it's where the _Sun_ goes *at night*!

    So they even have it backwards by flat-Earth standards.
