The zenith constancy of the transformational projection’s topological trigonometry discretely locates the common zenith points of any commonly centered concentric surfaced systems.
If camera-equipped telescopes were mounted aboard Earth-dispatched-and-controlled satellites, which satellites were ‘locked’ in fixed formation flight positions around our planet Earth with one such fixed satellite hovering steadily over each vertex of a one-mile-edged triangulation grid, and each telescope was trained in such a manner that the eyepiece of its eyepiece-to-optics’ axis is pointed exactly toward the center of the planet Earth, and its outer optics’ end is pointed exactly toward whatever star, if any, may be in exact zenith over the point on the surface of Earth above which the satellite was vertically positioned, a human on Earth at any one of those points looking vertically outwardly into the heavens with a radarscope would discover that satellite as a blip in the middle of his scope-viewing-tube’s grid.
Now let us have an around-the-world simultaneous clicking of the shutters of the cameras attached to each of the telescopes of each of those around-the-Earth-fixedly-hovering photo-satellites with
