Haha, Robin. The existence of this forum threw me for a loopity loop. I was wondering if I created this one in my sleep and for what purposes...


Fundamental questions of a paranoid mind.

Hehe, in a way...BOTH..

Quote:
The axis of rotation of the earth is tipped 23.5 degrees with respect to a perpendicular line to its orbital plane.

Use a glowing 40 watt lightbulb to represent the sun and an earth globe with its axis tipped by 23.5 degrees to model the earth's motion around the sun each year and its daily rotation.

At all latitudes on the equinoxes the sun rises due east. It sets due west.
(The earth's axis will be tipped in a plane perpendicular to the sun-earth line.)

At the equator on the winter solstice the sun rises and sets 23.5 degrees south of the east-west line. On the summer solstice it sets 23.5 degrees north of the east-west line.

Stonehenge....Represent!

Just Google "23.5 degrees". You will see alot of interstellar material.

I believe this is a temporary sanctuary for Phenomena Magazine....A world of strange, intelligent, and "Trip the fantastic, Baby!" news...all under the control of our Captain Robin & Crew.

This the site, Rapps.

Phenomena Magazine

Cinescape and Phenomena are related, we even sit at the same table at Thanksgiving.

Damn....I thought this was a new forum dedicated to the boyband I'm in.....it's also called 23.5 Degrees.




Can we just make it a forum dedicated to my boyband?

I would, but I have no power here.

Does anyone else feel like they forgot their V8 this morning?

Fate has thrown us together at last, DJ! I'm just going with the flow...

You have a lot more functions on this forum... I can't get the hang of all the bells and whistles and this demented bouncing blue blob that's following me around.
