And if the Solar System is moving due North toward Polaris, then the Sun that we "see" is 8.3 minutes South of the actual position of the Sun itself due to that delay in Light reaching the Earth from the Sun. - Southack

Then in that case you simply don't understand the concept that the Sun is moving, and while it is moving it takes Light 8.3 minutes to travel the distance from the Sun to the Earth, so when the Light reaches the Earth it is the Light from where the Sun was located 8.3 minutes ago, not the Light from where the Sun is currently located.

I understand it just fine. Stop trolling. Do the math, or drop it.

Thanks for the FYI. Yes, the sun is moving through space and the light path from the sun to earth is not always a straight line. However, twice a year the light path is straight and one should observe this. In one case the light would be redshifted and in the other it would be blue shifted (moving with and against the translation in space of the earth-sun system). Correspondingly, the gravity vector would show no delay at those points. The yearly variation in the spectra of the sun should yield this data. Perhaps you can find it. I'm very interested and this would go a long way in supporting your argument.
