Morris noted that North America is not at the same place

[Rosemary S]

On the 26 Sep 2011 on Elenin/ Brown Dwarf blog , Morris brought to our attention that the States were further north. Morris is right on this assumption. Have a look at the picture below. I have use an old globe to see if there were mark differences between Morris' satellite picture and the old globe. I have tried to positione the globe the same way has the satellite picture. There are slight differences. What is also intreging, is the location of South America. What do you think?

Good for you msred.  We are having crappy, chilly rainy, drizzy garbage.  It started yesterday and is supposed to hang around for another day or two!!!!  And on top of it all our heat pump is not working right but that's ok we have a wood stove in the basement (we installed 3 years ago Thank God).  We fired that puppy up this morning.

Today, we are having absolutely, undeniably, extraordinarily fantastic weather!!!!!

Yeah about the weather, half of the U.S. is having indian summer while the east side is chilly

From multiple dicussions over time posted on this ning  many had cited that the weather has changed.  The picures from the Goes satellite from 2001 to the present  seems to be showning that there has been a tilt change in the earth's axis.

All of these possibilites make sense, and of course the globe has to be made to precision....however, I have noted in the last 8 years or so, in the USA...the weather seems to have moved "north" a bit....used to be northern Texas got lots of ice in the winter,,, then it was Oklahoma, then Kansas got more ice than it used to....now Nebraska has been getting ice, and even a bit of ice storms starting up here in South Dakota....so I have seen changes that have certainly made me wonder if the equator, etc has shifted....

The earth bulges at the equater.  As if it is squashed from the top and bottom.  That is because of the spin.  But that is only slightly.  From space earth looks round.

Not all globes are created equal....earth is not round like a globe so there will be huge positional differences.

[Rosemary S]

No, but that could be a possibility. But the longitude and latitude would not work. Yes when I was a kid, they use to say that Earth was slightly pear shape.

[Sonny Sisomphou]

Have you consider that the fact that the real Earth is actually more oval shape than the model earth which is made to perfect sphere?
