8. AIR-ERRing ERatosthenes, by Dennis Rawlins

9. Accurate Ancient Astronomical Achievements, by Dennis Rawlins
all three ancient monthlengths correct to 1 timesec; observatories' geographical latitudes accurate to ordmag 1 arcmin; lunar-eclipse-based geographical longitudes accurate to ordmag 1° and History-of-science's backfironic denial of the achievement; 185-meter stade's implication of Ptolemy I survey's Earth-measure to 1%; Hipparchos' 135 BC obliquity good to ordmag 1 arcmin; Greeks' recognition that solstices were accurate to ordmag 1 hour & superior to equinoxes; eclipse-measured stars, parallax-sign-slips & cannonized saint-editor; solar distance as origin of order-of-magnitude; distances to Sun & to stars gauged by visual limit 1/10000 radians expands helicentrists' universe trillion-fold beyond geocentrists.
