2nd night of moon/planet/stargazing with my son, through the @ExploreSci telescope we got from @CloudBreakOptic. I figured out how to use the phone adapter this time, but didn't think to save in RAW. 😥 ... Tweaked the contrast & such with the @pixlr app.

@AdonaiOnGaia The more that flerfers ignore and deny objective, observable reality, the more they look like ignorant denialists.

@FlatEarthModel If you were standing on the hour hand of a giant clock that was laying on the ground, face up, do you think you would feel yourself moving?

If you can't prove "atheism". You cant say "there is no God". At best you're an "agnostic". You don't know.. God is the necessary precondition for logic and intelligibility. Atheism cannot account for anything therefore it is false, and is incoherent to reality.

@jaredvc @TheGlobeIsDead Parrallax can work on both globe tard earth and flat earth. You won't give me any evidence that is exclusive to globe earth because there is none.

@kingydave @TheGlobeIsDead Parallax is strong evidence of the Earth's motion around the sun. Otherwise nearby stars just wobble arbitrarily, which I already mentioned.

@Seanmcauliffe10 @jontheless4347 @globalist13903 Indeed. Math, logic, reasoning, etc... All human concepts that describe functions our brains are able to do and consider. If humans vanished, the societal concepts would disappear with us, but the universal facts they helped us understand would continue to be true.

@CosmicPtolemy @ddowell327 You are doing a horrible job. You try to get something out. Someone ask for info. You snipe at them saying you did already. If you really wanted to get the word out you point them at those 80 posts. You make it as easy as possible. You are asking something of us not us of you

𝟏/ 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 For decades, the astronomical establishment has clung to a model of the Sun so riddled with contradictions and so energetically defended that one can only despair at the collective delusion. Look at the standard solar image: the glossy, taxpayer-funded diagram that has adorned every textbook and planetarium globally. A pristine cutaway of our star, complete with a blindingly hot core, radiative zone, convective zone, photosphere, chromosphere, and corona – all “drawn to scale,” the caption pompously informs us. Sunspots with their umbra and penumbra, granules, flares, prominences, solar wind – the whole tired pantheon of standard-model paraphernalia. This is what generations of astronomers have been taught, funded, and tenured to believe. In this fantasy world the Sun is a gigantic hydrogen bomb, a self-contained thermonuclear reactor where fusion magically occurs at fifteen million degrees in the core, energy somehow radiates outward without melting everything in its path, and the outer atmosphere then inexplicably heats up to millions of degrees again. Built on a century-old nuclear fusion assumption at a time when no other mechanism could be envisioned for generating the solar power. Never tested, never proven, contradicted by every finding of the solar probes, it clings on desperately.

@CapitalMisto @benwehrman Another obscuring horizon that gets farther away with increased altitude. (Not how flat works.) That boat was just beyond the angular resolution limit, not the horizon. It's clearly between the camera & the horizon. It didn't sink bottom-up or unsink top-down behind the horizon.

Beautiful illustration of how the Sun, Moon, and Stars appear and disappear from our visual perspective while observing from the ground on Earth. People ask me all the time why folks in the south can't see the North Star (Polaris). It's because it is simply too far away. (Same reason why northern observers cannot see the Southern Cross constellation). The celestial bodies dip down over the horizon when they reach around 6,000 miles (9,600km) away from our observation point on the ground (in the x-axis direction). You can confirm this yourself by taking note of the exact time the sun disappears from sight during sunset, and checking where on Earth it's noon at that time. It will be roughly 6,000 miles away. Our eyes cannot see infinitely! Increasing your altitude, and using a high-powered zoom lens will increase your optical range...but only slightly, as you can't do anything about the atmospheric thickness/smog.

This new Flat Earth Conceptual Model is a GAME-CHANGER. It allows you to toggle between viewing Earth's full celestial system from above, and as an observer on the ground with perspective restrictions. Bravo, @AntiDisinfo86 👏

@kingydave @TheGlobeIsDead How is it observably flat? Parallax shows stars shifting over the course of 6 months. Either we orbit around the sun or nearby stars are wobbling arbitrarily. The stars are visible to us as point sources of light, no matter how much you magnify. 10s of TRILLIONS of miles apart

@jaredvc @TheGlobeIsDead Everyone literally lives on an observable stationary flat earth. You see the sun move but you think you're moving. The stars all focus with zoom at the same time but you think they are millions of miles apart. Water is always level but you think it's curves at some point.

@Alenjebiga @rightorrightnow @aten_ichnaten That escalated quickly. And yes, it's basically the same map. Both are azimuthal equidistant globe projections. Any flat map will always be distorted, because that's what happens when you project the surface of a 3-dimensional object onto a 2-dimensional medium.
