Star Trails

From Flerf Wiki

Flerfs generally agree that there is a single p[oint of rotation in the northern sky near Polaris. Some flerfs are actually ignorant enough to imagine that Polaris is perfectly centered and will refuse to accept it when they are presented with a time lapse showing polaris doing a small circle like this one:

A better image is in [Dubay's book] under proof 150:

Flatbrains think the stars are embedded in the firmament or dome. Or whatever they conjure up to solve the current corner they painted themselves in. They aren't smart enough, however to realize that if there was a dome rotating with stars going around in circles the stars would only trace a circle when the observer it at the north gometric pole. Everywhere else the trails would trace an ellipse.

Just look at a circle held sideways. It's an ellipse, dummys. But we don't see that. Flat earth falsified.

Again.

But it gets worse for them. Opposite rotating celestial poles is unchallenged evidence the earth is a globe and a another complete falsification of the dirt pizza. The play word games like "do the stars go east to west around the south celestial pole"? As if this weasel attempt is going to hide the devastation that the actual opposite rotation causes for them.

Flat earth requires that the southernmost star trails are horizontal. If you're under a rotating Tupperware lid the outside edges will appear to mode sideways. Do we see this? No. Flerfs are dumb.

Here are some examples of the actual observation: a south celestial pole seen due south from sundown to sunrise.

Here is one from Australia: [1]
