You could have stopped right there gerald.
Because this is your real intention. You are
scared to get involved with people. So you
just spout the nonsense you do......


Allow me to demonstrate,in brief outlines, what contemporary astronomy
can do with imaging.There is nothing remotely controversial about
using the subtle variations in the position of Io's shadow ,sometimes
to the left of Io and sometimes to the right -

The central star casts Io's shadow on Jupiter and the orbital motions
of Jupiter and the Earth around the Sun do the rest.Teenagers and
adults would love this easy way to affirm our orbital motion rather
than being stuck with uninspiring 'transits' which have really no
information.



Dont worry. Even though you are a loon, and a kook
we still love you.



My turn.

In an industry that cannot afford mistakes with very unforgiving
material,I know all to well the great minds that can deal with
technical difficulties and resolve them with little fuss.At my
disposal ,as an astronomer,are the great technological developments of
imaging which make promoting the great Western astronomical
achievements such an easy and enjoyable thing to do yet there appears
to be no capable minds of dealing with even the most basic astronomical
material being brought up.You call me one thing or another but I am
certainly no stranger to this isolation and I assure you that whatever
insults you fling in this direction,the lack of responses to new
material such as using Io's shadow to affirm heliocentricity is the
only insult I know.
