The Real Outer Space

The apparent position of the Suns with cloud cover passing by.

An Empirical Observation of Things Typically Unseen

Abstract

This article is about an observation and the findings that are the result of the curiosity to observe the apparent location of the Sun during the August 21, 2017, solar eclipse.

It is not all the time that questions lead to observations, but it is observations that lead to questions. Usually we don’t have a chance to observe beyond the blue sky with the Sun Above the horizon.

Rayleigh Scattering is typically a veil concealing the stars and planets from our view in the daytime. This particular observation was captured by using a prosumer camcorder that was pointed
directly at the apparent position of the Sun for a few hours without a solar filter.

Despite the observation being performed
outside of the Moon’s umbra, while being in the Moon’s penumbra, the dimming of the sky was perceivable to the naked eye and the camcorder.

This article focuses on the empirical
observation of the phenomenons captured by the apparatus.

A plethora of small spherical objects became visible along with other various light phenomenon. Upon meticulous review of the
data it became apparent the practical method of capturing a pole to pole image of the Earth while standing on the Earth’s surface.

Ultimately it is discerned that just as the Sun and Earth share an ecliptic plane, radius vector, semi-axis and major axis, like wise the Sun and the Earth and or the Sun and an observer on the Earth share a principle axis on which a principal focus and/or secondary focus can be obtained from the surface of the Earth.

This point of focus reveals an image of the Earth.
