I'm curious what the exposure time was on this?
Great photo.

Did you know that there are people out there who say that because the stars don't also visibly move in the sky, straight across that is, that it shows the earth is not moving, aka geocentrism? I'm not kidding.

Wow, really? Honestly that's incredibly interesting, lol. I've never thought of that before..

Because they still believe what Copernicus, and Kepler, and Galileo have shown to be false for centuries. And I thought people who rejected evolution to be thick.
Disproving the geocentrist claim is easy, even the closest star system to our, Alpha centari, is four light years away, that is a huge distance from us, and even when the earth has gone through half its orbit we notice only a slight change in the stars position. So if half a year is only a slight difference then why would they expect to see great movement over the course of a single night.

Hmm...that makes sense. I concur?

I guess they also can't fathom how far away the stars actually are... if they were close, they probably WOULD move over a single night.
