... Piotrovich Main Astronomical Observatory, Pulkovo, St. Petersburg, Russia Received May 24, 2006; in final form, July 7, 2006 Abstract--We have used two astrometric methods developed at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences--the method of apparent-motion parameters (AMP) and a direct geometrical method (DGM)--to derive the orbit of the star S2 around the Galactic center, and thereby the mass of the supermassive black hole at the Galactic center. ...

My idea is as follows: A very strong concrete foundation is attached to "Earth" a cable made of some increadably strong material is attached on to a giant powered pully wheel, the capble runs out into space aprox 400 miles ! ... In his novel "Fountains of Paradise" Clarke uses that idea: take a cable 40,000 km long and drop it from the satellite to the spot directly underneath it on the Earth and secure it. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

Before you continue reading, you should know that this was not always the case, i.e. the Moon once was rotating with respect to the Earth, so that on every night a terrestrial observer (if there was one, because this was long, long before mankind appeared on our planet, and even before any major animals had appeared) saw another face of the Moon. ... Figure 1 (not to scale) shows how we can imagine the system Earth-Moon...
