Flat Earth Q&A / Re: So, this is my first time here....

1. The moon does not reflect sun light. Bio-luminescent lunar shrimp live on the moon and they all turn on and off their lights at the proper time in order for us to get the moon phases.
2. The stars are much closer on a flat earth than they are on a round one. You can not see the southern cross from the northern hemidisk because the stars are simply too far away. The same goes for Polaris when viewed from the south.
Do these stars move in a circle above the disc, like the sun, in order to explain their motion through the sky? If so, how do the FE's explain the fact that there are stars in the southern hemisphere that never set. If the stars moved in a circle, the would spend some of the time on the opposite side of the disk to me (in Australia) so that South America could see them. This means that I should see them set like I would the sun, but I don't.
