European Southern Observatory Proposes New Compulsory Figure

[nicklaszlo]

They named it the "Schwarzschild Precession."

You will need a really good push to skate the whole thing.

A truly "stellar" skater is doing a carefully timed illusion to create a circularly progressing elliptical spin.

Makes a great school figure.

Anyone wanna try?

Just get a jumbo size spirograph.

Just get a jumbo size spirograph.

Spirograph=Ptolemaic cycles & epicycles!

It's so easy to fool ye mortals! We but ran a string between three celestial skaters. The skater at one end stood perfectly still. The one at the other end slowly circled the first. The third skater balanced a bright light on her head while she kept the line taut, skating round the other two.

Next shall we paint the ice sheet black and light the ice, to display the figure all at once? What fantasies willt though spin to explain the celestial pattern?
