What a Better Way to celebrate this day than to post the part of the story in our science-fiction book: “Heliotropos: Toward the Sun” in which Showay finally learns about the true orbit of Terra around HelioStella.
“So the point to which you have been referring is the moment in which a shift in perception occurs?”
“A shift in perception which literally begins a shift in direction.”
Breyê-yendêze listened intensely as AurorA and Showay communicated. AurorA’s dance of light and music carried also a message for him.
“You are told Terra rotates around HelioStella in an elliptical orbit, however this is not so. In Terra’s orbit, there is a give and take with the pull of HelioStella, in and out as a yo-yo. However, Terra never travels inside HelioStella’s orbit. It appears there is a cross over, when in fact there is none. Terra’s orbit is circular to the extent you perceive it so. It is however slightly eccentric in its orbit of HelioStella’s circumference. You could draw it in this manner. Draw three concentric circles.”
“Now eliminate the outer portion of circle two where it comes in contact with the outer portion of circle three.”
“Yes, you follow well. Close the corner at a clockwise rotation. It crosses behind but never in front of HelioStella’s trajectory.”
AurorA was watching Showay as he finished recording and drawing what he had just received. “That is precisely the Endeavor of Terra and HelioStella. On a rotational axis that encompasses all planetary rotation, there are but few discrepancies that cannot be explained herein.”
Of course, this is a quote from a science fiction story… and as we say in our science fiction books, any resemblance of this material to reality is Purely a matter of perception.
Happy solstice day or should I say, happy New Year's Eve...
