Said mrjesse: Are you saying that when I look up at the night sky half the stars I see are actually on the other side of the world?
They might be. They have had billions of years to move around. They most certainly aren't where you see them. Also except for the stars in our galaxy most of the stars that you see when you look into the sky are galaxies.

May I say that you sidestepped the question. It ought to be clear from the context of our conversation that I meant "Are you saying that when I look up at the night sky half the stars I see are actually on the other side of the word because of and to a degree as a function of the earth's rate of rotation?"

said mrjesse: Can you find anyone at nasa who plans space missions and who agrees with you? The more I hear of your idea the more crazy it sounds.

LOL They all agree with me : )

Great to hear! Now can you find a single official NASA statement that says "The sun when viewed from earth appears ~2.13 degrees behind its actual position due to the rotation of the earth ~2.13 degrees per ~8.5 minutes and the light-distance of ~8.5 minutes from the sun to the earth?"

thanks,

You seem to be implying that the earths rotation moved the stars from their locations. Are you really that confused?

Why don't I put you out of your misery. Look up aberration of light. Google is your friend : )
