And the star of Pi5 Orion is even more interesting in its structure: it double, and each half of it is a triaxial ellipsoid. Or take the star Alpha Eridana Achernar, which scientists say rotates at such an amazing speed that its polar diameter fifty percent less than the equatorial.

Really, astronomers let loose and gave another reason to warm up this completely absurd (at first glance) theme – a flat Earth? The most amazing thing is that the proponents of this theory are very prove their case in good faith, and in that they’re great helps the american agency NASA, which is constantly lying and engaged in all kinds of hoaxes, say, of the same flights astronauts to the moon, an incomprehensible shuttle explosion in 1986 “Challenger”, although almost all of his “dead” astronauts are still alive, and so on. And once lied, as you know, no longer inspires confidence in nothing …
