I really have no idea. Throw in space-time curvature and stars 10 billion years old and I am clueless.
Is it possible for a stars actual position to be 180 degrees from its apparent position?
Sure, just position a black hole or two appropriately. And no I am not a racist.
LeGrande:
I just had a thought.
You’ve been trying to tell us about how the apparent position of the sun is not its actual position.
If you could give us a link to some peer-reviewed scientific journal that is available online that describes this phenomenon there is a chance that we would understand it better.
Sometimes having different people conveying the same idea but with different words and phrases makes it more understandable.
Thanks.
