A threat to my "one light day up" view?

A threat to my "one light day up" view? · Apparent Size depends on Tangent, Right?

If fix stars are no longer one light day up, they can have been so in Creation week.

Indeed, a stretching of the universe could have occurred during the Flood after the 40 days' rain to thin out the hydrogen ("waters above the firmament" / "in upper part of the firmament").

This would mean Adam can still have seen starlight that shone on day five from the star, and birds on day five starlight that shone on day four, but on the other hand, I would get my view of them now still being one light day up refuted, when Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 in nine or 18 years' time get up to a one way distance of 24 light hours from us.

I was not exactly aware that they were still transmitting some kind of images to earth, apart from retransmitting radio signals that are marked so as to make possible identification of which signal and how long ago it was sent. These latter I already knew of.

However, I was not aware of the images taken from one of the stars in Lyra (I think it was) with some x-ray imagery, visible light being turned off.

Now, the reason why this could be a problem for the view of fixed stars still being one light day up is this fact, by now more than half, for Voyager 1 even three quarters, of this distance is covered.

This means, the angles should be visibly greater if one light day were the correct distance.

Let's take two triangles, one of them the classical 3 - 4 - 5 triangle, the other one having the distance 4 shortened to 1.

Where 4 and 5 meet, the sine is 3/5 or 0.6. Angle should be* nearly 37°

Where 1 and ... sqrt(10) meet, the sine is 3/3.1622776601683793 or 0.9486832980505138092, and angle should be 71° to 72° (71.56 sth)

So, the distances between any two stars (if Voyager 1 is even observing that much) or even visible magnitude of a single star should look twice as great in the direction Voyager 1 is heading.

If it doesn't and it can be known, then fix stars should be more than one light day away now. They still could have been one light day away at creation, by a stretching out of the universe.

Update next day:

I saw that with distance reduced to 1/4 of original, the angle would be about 2 times. I wanted to check, if it were reduced to 1/9, would angle be three times greater? No.

3 - 4 - 5 = 27 - 36 - 45.

3/5=27/45=0.6.

27*27 + 16 = n
sqrt(n) replaces 45.

27/sqrt(n)= ...

n=745
sqrt(n)=27.2946881279123613
27/27.2946881279123613=0.989203462353870809

sin(x)=0.6, x=36.87°
sin(x)=0.989203462353870809, 81.57°

81.57° / 36.87°= 2.2123677786818552°



* I used https://web2.0calc.com/ and entered sin(x)=0.6, sin(x)=0.9486832980505138092, then clicked on = button and then saw the "whole calculation" above the slot.
