I imagine our elliptical path around the Sun and its immense energy output that has been fueled by nuclear fusion for billions of years. How can this be? How can we be floating through what is essentially nothing that is occasionally interrupted by sparse gatherings of matter.

A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees"

- pstroll, on 07/03/2009, -0/+1haha geocentrists!! you can't explain away the change in apparent magnitude of both the sun and moon with your silly models.

- goaliegeewhiz, on 07/03/2009, -1/+1Agulesin, a little farther wouldn't help. The earth would have to tilt a bit less to cool down the summer heat and warm up the winter chill. I would lean in favor of that.
