ZetaTalk: Pole Shift

sun to other objects he sees in the sky.

The rising and setting sun are huge, compared to their appearance at mid-

day. This is due to the light rays which have been bent and would

otherwise escape to the side, being bent back by the atmosphere so they

enter the viewers eye as though coming from a large orange sun. Do these

rays not get bent in this manner at mid-day? They do, but there are several

factors which make the phenomena apparent at dawn and dusk.

1. the angle between the viewer and the Sun at dawn and dusk are such

that more atmosphere is passed through, thus more of bending of the

red spectrum rays is done.

2. competition from other light rays is reduced so the red spectrum rays

are predominant, and the eye thus registers them rather and having

them drown out and supplanted by a different image.

3. at mid-day, when the Sun is overhead, red spectrum light from the

Sun is bent to the side so that any reaching the eye of the viewer

seems to be coming from another object, not the Sun, and is thus

discounted.

Thus, in viewing Planet X, especially when

the inbound planet is faint and small due to

being at a distance, viewing is best when

the spot in the sky is at either horizon, not

overhead. Like the rising or setting sun,

allowing the red spectrum light to pass at

an angle through the atmosphere, thus

passing through more atmosphere, makes

Planet X seem larger, too. Light rays in the red spectrum that are bending to the side as they approach Earth are bent

back, thus seeming to come from the side of Planet X, an illusion that makes it seem larger. Viewing Planet X from a

distance is also affected by red light being bent by other factors in the solar system, and thus the RA and Dec given

seem to vary in an irrational manner. We give coordinates that will best allow man to locate this red planet, as

depending on:

the viewers location on Earth, as to latitude, as distance from the equator affects the thickness of the atmosphere

pooled at the equator and also is affected by factors in the solar system to the north or south, which can differ.

the time of night when they are seeking a peek or to take an image, thus affecting the amount of atmosphere red

light must pass through as it will be either traveling through more atmosphere if at an angle or less if overhead.

ZetaTalk: Red Light

competition from other light sources, so that the normal requirement to seek to view on a dark, clear night and

eliminate light scatter from cloud cover or pollution or nearby city lights applies in viewing Planet X to a

greater degree, as red light can more easily be bend and become something other to the eye or camera than what

it would be if registered as coming from the source.

The advise for those seeking a peek are to look around the spot given, filtering only for light in the red spectrum, in

particular infrared, and comparing what they see against established and published star charts. The RA and Dec given

are close enough that this practice will bring success, and giving specialized coordinates to this and that viewer, for

this or that day, will not much improve this effort as so many other factors are at play. Thus, we will cease the practice

of giving special coordinates from this date forward, as the viewing public is going to increase in numbers during 2002

and these requests will overwhelm an already exhausted Nancy. Follow the guidelines given, and spend your efforts

there, rather than making demands of Nancy.

ZetaTalk: Latitude

Note: written during the April, 2002 sci.astro debates.

Why would latitude matter? Mankind is aware that the waters of the oceans mass more at the Equator than at the poles,

due to centrifugal force caused by rotation. The water is pulled outward, creating a drop in pressure there relative to the

water pressure at the poles, thus creating more water at the Equator when the oceans equalize their water pressure.

How does this affect the viewing of the inbound Planet X, when viewing is through the atmosphere not the waters of

the oceans? The atmosphere, being lighter than the oceans, likewise attempts to equalize its air pressure differences.

High pressure areas push into low pressure areas, and where mountain tops have less pressure than the surface of the

Earth, this is measured from the surface of the Earth, not from the dead center of the globe. The reason for this is that

the atmosphere takes the surface as its low point, the point where it cannot drop further, during equalization of air

pressure.

In viewing Planet X, primarily emitting light in the red spectrum, including infrared light, the bending of red light

between the inbound Planet X and the viewer is affected by the following factors:

gravitational and other influences in the solar system between Planet X and Earth, such that if the light must pass

by another planet in its path it may bend toward this planet, diminishing the red light coming directly to the

viewer, and thus making Planet X appear to have a lower magnitude than expected.

the angle of viewing, such that if the red light passes over more of the Earth’s surface, it will tend to bend
