I love this post/thread. I have often in the back of my head wanted to start studying the stars and planets around Atys when I got time, but have been busy lately. I am so happy this club or association has started, May I join?
I have no idea how to determine things such as in your discussion. I have often wondered how astronomers through ancient history have discovered things like if (OC: the sun revolved around the Earth, or visa versa. How a dot in the sky is either a sun or a planet, and the time it takes to go around the Sun, and things like these.) It takes real time and thinking I guess.
I guess i will have to use my brain and try to contribute. In the mean time, I look forward to more discussions on this subject.
-Thanks for starting this discussion!
