Definitions
| Sidereal
Orbit |
is
a revolution relative to a fixed celestial
position. |
| Sidereal
Noon |
is
the instant of transit of mean equinox
relative to a fixed meridian position. |
Fundamental
Epoch
of Sidereal Time |
(FE)
is the instant 12 hours, 0 days, 1900 years
A.D. with hours in mean sidereal time. |
| Ephemeris
Time |
is
the actual count of solar days from a fixed
meridian. |
| Tropical
Year (YT) |
is
the period from equinox to equinox. |
| Eclipse
Year (YE) |
is
the period between the earth and lunar orbit
planes node crossings. |
| Temporal
Unit (TU) |
is
36,525 mean solar days since Jan. 0.5, 1900,
UT. |
Greenwich
Mean
Sidereal Time (GT) |
0.0 hours UT 12 hours + aFMS |
| Universal
Time (UT) |
has
replaced Mean Solar Time due to a recognition
of the non-uniform rotation rate of the earth. |
| Lunar
Synodic Period (S9) |
is
the period of time from one full or new moon
to another, that is the time between
consecutive alignments of the sun, earth and
moon on a plane perpendicular to the plane of
solar revolution. |
| Precession
(PR) |
is
the retrograde rotation of the earth's axis
relative to fixed celestial reference. |
| Annual
Parallax |
is
the viewpoint difference due to the change in
the earth's position relative to the sun. For
the nearest star the angle is about 0.000222.� |
| Annual
Aberration |
is
the angular shift in apparent position
resulting from motion velocity of viewing from
orbiting (moving) earth. |
| Diurnal
Parallax |
is
the viewpoint difference due to the rotation
of the earth. The amount varies with the
latitude of the observer. |
| Diurnal
Aberration |
is
the result of observing from a spining
observing position on the surface of the
earth. Velocity of the observer causes
apparent shift to a maximum correction of
about 0.0008333�
at the equator. |
| Atmospheric
Refraction |
is
the bending of light rays by the earth's
atmosphere. |

Archaeoastronomy
According to Harleston*, he principle unit of measurement as used by Teotihuanacos was a
length of 1.059463 metres. Translated into feet this is 3.475ft
and is accurate to within one part in 19,000 of the double royal Egyptian cubit
of 3.4757485ft, in later works he refined the figure still further to be correct
to within five decimal places of this length, of which he was at that time
unaware.
He called the measure a hunab,
which in the Aztec language means "unified measure", and the hunab is
exactly eight to seven of the Aztec betan, which
means "yard".
