[QUOTE="sjastro, post: 77637091, member: 352921"] On the subject of pole stars, planets and moons have their own stars that are of the 6th magnitude (barely visible to the naked eye) or brighter which are nearest to the celestial pole. [TABLE] [TR] [TH][/TH] [TH][CENTER]Northern Pole Star[/CENTER][/TH] [TH][CENTER]Southern Pole Star[/CENTER][/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TD][CENTER]Mercury[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Omicron Draconis[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Alpha Pictoris[/CENTER][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][CENTER]Venus [/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]42 Draconis[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Eta Doradus[/CENTER][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][CENTER]Earth [/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Polaris [/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Sigma Octantis [/CENTER][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][CENTER]Moon[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Omicron Draconis[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Delta Doradus[/CENTER][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][CENTER]Mars[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Line through Sadr and Deneb in Cygnus point to north celestial pole.[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Kappa Velorum [/CENTER][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][CENTER]Jupiter[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Zeta Draconis[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Delta Doradus[/CENTER][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][CENTER]Saturn[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]No visible stars in far northern region of Cepheus. [/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Delta Octantis[/CENTER][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][CENTER]Uranus [/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Eta Ophiuchi [/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]15 Orionis[/CENTER][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][CENTER]Neptune[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Spot midway between Gamma and Delta Cygni.[/CENTER][/TD] [TD][CENTER]Gamma Velorum[/CENTER][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] With the exception of Uranus, the pole stars belong to northern and southern constellations as seen from Earth. Uranus is the odd one out as its axis of rotation is over 90 degrees from the vertical, Ophiuchus and Orion are constellations which occupy both sides of the celestial equator from Earth, are circumpolar as seen from Uranus. How do flat earthers explain planets and moons having their own pole stars? [/QUOTE]
