If real astronomers would have tumbled to the stars being in the wrong positions, then with all the alleged extensive fakery going on, it would be the simplest thing for them to make fake stars in the correct positions, right?
As I understand things angular parallax can be used to gauge the distance of stars to a distance of about 100 parsecs. That is using Earth based telescopic observations, oh but wait, that is also assuming a baseline of 2AU's. The Moon is only 250,000 miles away so that there would be very few stars indeed that showed any angular parallax. WOW no wonder NASA didn't show any stars..
I have often wonder over the source of the contention that, stars would be easily visible shining out of the "inky blackness" of the vacuum of space, even with the sun visible. I think that Science Fiction writers, including my favourite Isaac Asimov, always stated that this would be the case, basically they were wrong. Even today, if a Sci Fi film shows outer space, they always show a clear background of stars. I just wonder if this has been the cause of all this stars nonsense?
