Any astromers on elite?

[prince of a guy]

I pose this question to you:


At what times of the year is the Big Dipper at its zenith and nadir where you live?

 

[MoneyBags]

june and november. what the fuck is an astromer.

june and november. what the fuck is an astromer.

Thank you for your response, Mr. Moneybags. Thank you for pointing out my typing error, an agregious error that I is causing me great dispair. Please accept my humble apologies.

Might I inquire as to how you determined June and November?

Please advise at your earliest convenience.

i just made it up. i couldnt care less about the zenith or nadir of the big dipper.

The zenith and nadyr of a Star cluster is basically the
angle of inclination relative to a certain pre-determined
horizontal line on earth. This angle(normally stated
in rads or arcs of a degree) oscillates from a low point
in the horizon to a high point in the horizon.

And what the hell is the BIg Dipper?

I need the scientific name of the star cluster not
the "popular" one.

If I were to venture a guess, as the earth rotates around its
axis, the different seasons emerge. The earth also rotates around
the sun. So, what you get is a vector summation of two
different angular velocities relative to one another(the
sun and the earth).

The difference between high and low HAS to be 6 months
because the earths rotational motion will obscure the
star cluster from view.

So, Moneybags is right in his month differential.

So, Prince of a guy you need to specify a SPECIFIC
geographical location.

The star cluster is also known as Ursa Majoris.

Well shit...you can find anything on Elite! Astronomers, plumbers, electricians, doctors, lawyers. etc....!

Any need for somebody that is a nobody?

Fonz,

Now that you know the constellation, can you answer my question? I'll PM you my location.

 

[Fonz]

The star cluster is also known as Ursa Majoris.

Thanks. Now I need a frigging star-map.

Memorizing all the constellations is a bit of a drag
frankly.

Just as an addendum,

The Zenith and nadyr of a perticular star-constellation
CHANGES over time for a fixed point on earth due
to stellar drift.

Stellar drift= The recession spped of the universe=H
(Hubble's constant)

Fonz,

Your efforts at helping me will be greatly appreciated.

although i disagree with some of sagans opinions, he was still a fucking genius.. bumps away
