You are confused, alan. The TS & CS are two completely different coordinate frames and don't depend on each other in the least.
You don't need to merge them, you don't need 60nm/°, and neither one of them are "conceptual spheres (wtf is that?)". They stand alone as separate & independent coordinate frames — TS for lat/long on Earth, CS for the position of stars.
I can see how someone who didn't specialize in math could be confused by the coordinate transformations. In order to relate lat/long to ra/dec, the angles between the axes of the frames are needed, so that might look like "merging" to you, but the TS & CS do not depend on each other. They stand alone and independent as two different, well defined on their own with no dependency on the other, coordinate frames.
They can be related to each other, just as any coordinate system can be mapped into another.
And you say "fictitious positions of stars"??? wtf is that horseshit? There's nothing fictitious about stellar positions. We have the precision of bright stars down to microarcseconds and the rest to sub-milliarcsecond which includes aberration, parallax, and proper motion.
➡️The "fictitious observer" is your red herring.
➡️CS & TS are independent of one another.
➡️A coordinate transformation is required to relate positions in one frame to the other.

Two Telescopes, One Cosmic Wonder: 14 Years Apart! 🌌🔭
The same corner of the universe, revealed in two extraordinary ways.
In October 2008, the Hubble Space Telescope captured the stunning Cosmic Cliffs in NGC 3324, revealing towering clouds of gas and dust.
Then, in July 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope revisited the region in infrared light, uncovering previously hidden young stars and intricate details within the clouds.
Located roughly 7,600 light-years from Earth, these enormous formations are being sculpted by powerful radiation and stellar winds from young, massive stars.
What looks like a mountain range is actually a stellar nursery where new stars are being born.
Same universe. Different wavelengths. A whole new perspective. ✨
Note: This is an artistic recreation inspired by the original telescope observations.

The Shape of Distance
Aether Round Table, #147
Listen from
1:15:00 → 1:16:00
From the video:
============
"So we took all the data,
• flight paths
• satellites
• ocean sea cables
• triangles
• railroads
• highways
and put it on the maps.
"It didn't work of any flat map we tried (red are errors). It only worked on a globe (green are within error bounds).
"This is the shape of distance. Distance only works on a globe"

ONE FLIGHT. TWELVE AND A HALF HOURS. FLAT EARTH IS FINISHED. ✈️🌎
Sydney to Santiago. On the globe, a Boeing 787 would need to average about 560 mph. On the flat Earth map, that 787 would need to average nearly 1,300 mph. And that’s impossible.
Watch the comparison and see for yourself.
No physics, no appeals to authority, “trust me, bro”.
No atmosphere haze, no “it goes far away” or “perspective!”
My recent videos have exposed the problems with the sun and moon circling above a disc beneath a dome. Apparently too hard for Flerfs to comprehend, so this time, a single publicly bookable flight does the job.
Anyone can buy a ticket and test it. If flat earthers are serious about investigating, here’s their opportunity. Refusing the test tells you plenty.
Flat Earth is dead. It’s a zombie belief.

Take the 13 consecutive composites.
114, 115, 116, …, 126.
Now assign each one a different prime divisor:
19, 23, 29, 13, 59, 17, 2, 11, 61, 41, 31, 5, 7.
Every prime divides its matching number. None is repeated.
Grimm conjectured that this is always possible for every finite run of consecutive composite integers.
No counterexample is known. The conjecture remains open.

Trin, every surveying manual (for people paid to measure the earth accurately), not to mention every single measurement capable of measuring it, confirms that level is curved and that verticals are not parallel.
You spend your life denying actual measurements and reality itself
Hap Rho retweeted
The Sun has neighbours, but none are quite like it.
Proxima Centauri, the closest star beyond our solar system, is 4.25 light years away. Sirius B, nearly twice as far, is a white dwarf, the dense remnant of a star that has exhausted its fuel.
Even our nearest stellar neighbourhood holds very different stages of a star’s life.

flat earthers lie about
solar spectroscopy
→ They say "the real" data
comes from space
→ They ignore most of the spectrum,
and pretend only H & He exist
Hap Rho retweeted
So let me get this straight, Timmy.
Back when we were banging rocks together, they discovered it was flat, but now that they've spent thousands of years inventing sophisticated tools to measure shit with, suddenly we've lost the ability to.
Make your dumbfuckery make sense. 🤣
Not only does terrestrial based spectroscopy reveal solar composition, doppler spectroscopy gives the Sun's
→ rotation rate
→ diameter
→ distance from Earth
flerfs response?
Who knows — they're
busy building strawmen

A bit of flat earth history for you.
About 3 or 4 years ago, the original @100KryptoKeyz hosted Flat Earth Fridays had a space that went for over 24hrs.
The topic: how can southern flights work on a flat earth.
No viable solution was found after a full day of discussion.
Because either your payed or stupid to constantly keep saying the same thing when there's more examples for the flat earth maps working better for flight routes. I already know how those debates go. Why waste the 100th hour on it.. And no it's admission of defeat where you have to cope about "give me a map" when I'm showing a leveled camera showing no horizon recession. Yet you keep on about the whataboutism of a map haha

TO THE
FLAT EARTH COMMUNITY
@ThatGuyM77 has turned against & slandered Alan, shane, Toby, and piezo.
He blames their 'perfidy' on money.
(low life)
Hap Rho retweeted
Have you watched Alan / Piezo / Toby’s presentation yet?
You’d have to consider that a blow. The material demolishes FE and shows the only viable solution is a globe
Hap Rho retweeted
We had Piezo in Globe Realities space a couple of days ago. He acknowledged it had taken him almost 9 years to realise he was wrong
More incontrovertible proof of heliocentrism.
Only by living in a fairytale non‐reality, can one believe Earth is flat/motionless.
