I will check out the sources there. I've got the question posted in the astronomy, astrophysics and aerospace...
Thank you. This is very helpful and good news.
Do you have any links to more info on this? Or could you tell me what the field I'm in here is technically called? Someone on reddit suggested contacting their Aerospace Engineering forum.
Hello. I am wondering if shadows cast from the sun in 1880 would be the same in 2020? For example, would the shadow of a mountain be in the same spot on May 1, 1880, 12:00 p.m. as it would be on May 1, 2020, 12:00 p.m. (given that the mountain's shape has not changed)?"

Thank you all!
