Yeah...

Show me ONE solar eclipse diagram that's drawn to scale please.

Just the ONE...

None of these suffice:

Oh, & when you're done with that, show me all the videos of solar eclipses taken from the ISS...

Thank you please!

Show me one solar eclipse that happened when the moon wasn't in the new moon phase.

'We represent the moon as a small styrofoam ball... For the sun, we use the actual object'...

LOL!!!

Any chance of fucking off & stopping wasting my time with bullshit?

Also reported btw.

Oh. Do you want a FULL SCALE model? Oh then on September 1st, go to southern africa.

Problem with that is the distances and size of objects involved.

The reason you do not see diagrams to scale is something would be left out or objects would be so small they would be too hard to see.

Here is an example of what I am talking about:

http://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.html

That is a scale representation of our solar system.  Notice how large the diagram needs to be just going from the Sun to our Moon.  In this diagram the moon is represented as one pixel. So the smallest scale that can be used so the moon is visible.

Yeah...

With the distances (and sizes involved) you can't easily get a "scale diagram", certainly not with the sun in it. Here is my rough attempt.


This is just the earth part enlarged a bit.

The Earth part could easily be scaled up more, or the latitude on earth changed.

I think when he said "scale model" he meant "full scale model" because he didn't like my answer, which was a perfect scale model.

SO SHILL, WHERE IS YOUR FULL SCALE MODEL? A FEW PIXELS ON A SCREEN ARE BULLSHIT. FUCKING SHILL.

http://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.html

Very clever.

why?

the solar eclipse works on both models

the lunar eclipse however, no FE explanation stands up to testing

"the solar eclipse works on both models"


The solar eclipse doesn't really work on an FE model, but at least it's somewhat explained.

Anyway, what kind of dumb fucking trick question is this Legba?

well yeah its just the moon going in front of the sun on both models

but yeah, asking for a scale model of a solar eclipse has got to be one of the most ridiculous requests I've ever heard

He was banned again. 

I think he is trying to disprove space flight since he believes the Earth is round.  That is why he is asking for pictures or videos from the ISS of a solar eclipse.

Heliocentric model seems rather impossible, if not miraculous..... that the earth's shadow at those distances would perfectly fit over the Moon.

Heliocentric model seems rather impossible, if not miraculous..... that the earth's shadow at those distances would perfectly fit over the Moon.

the only time the Earth's shadow is on the Moon is during a lunar eclipse.  And the Earth's shadow is far bigger than the moon so it is far from perfect.

None of the top RE scientists believe the official theory re: solar eclipses.

The Moon has astonishing synchronicity with the Sun. When the Sun is at its lowest and weakest in mid-winter, the Moon is at its highest and brightest, and the reverse occurs in mid-summer. Both set at the same point on the horizon at the equinoxes and at the opposite point at the solstices. What are the chances that the Moon would naturally find an orbit so perfect that it would cover the Sun at an eclipse and appear from Earth to be the same size? What are chances that the alignments would be so perfect at the equinoxes and solstices?

    Farouk El Baz,
    NASA


"If the precise and stationary orbit of the Moon is seen as sheer coincidence, is it also coincidence that the Moon is at just the right distance from the Earth to completely cover the Sun during an eclipse? While the diameter of the Moon is a mere 2,160 miles against the Sun’s gigantic 864,000 miles, it is nevertheless in just the proper position to block out all but the Sun’s flaming corona when it moves between the Sun and the Earth. Asimov explained: “There is no astronomical reason why the Moon and the Sun should fit so well. It is the sheerest of coincidences, and only the Earth among all the planets is blessed in this fashion.” "


If anybody here accepts the official chronology of history, then he/she will also have to accept this fact:

From America, Christopher Columbus also wrote to the king and the queen of Spain about the simultaneous eclipses:

This that I have said is what I have heard. What I know is that the year 94 I sailed in 24 degrees to the west in 9 hours, and it could not be mistake because there were eclipses: the sun was in Libra and the moon in Ariete.

https://web.archive.org/web/20160330014321/http://mgar.net/docs/colon4.htm

Esto que yo he dicho es lo que he oído. Lo que yo sé es que el ańo de 94 navegué en 24° al Poniente en término de nueve horas, y no pudo haber yerro porque hubo eclipses: el sol estaba en Libra y la luna en Ariete.


Now, "Columbus" is NOT describing a selenelion (both the Sun and the eclipsed Moon can be observed at the same time in the RE theory): he used the words "hubo eclipses" (were eclipses), there were a solar and a lunar eclipse occurring at the same time.




The ISS shuts down its camera during the March 20, 2015 total solar eclipse:

not true.  The moon goes from its highest to lowest point and back EACH MONTH.

Both set at the same point on the horizon at the equinoxes and at the opposite point at the solstices. What are the chances that the Moon would naturally find an orbit so perfect that it would cover the Sun at an eclipse and appear from Earth to be the same size? What are chances that the alignments would be so perfect at the equinoxes and solstices?

    Farouk El Baz,

also not true.  The Moon does not necessarily set or rise at the same point as the sun on the equinoxes nor is it opposite on the solstices.  Its rise and set points vary from furthest north to furthest south and back throughout each month.  For what you claim to be true it would have to be on the exact same phase on the equinoxes and solstices each year.  It is not.

http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/about-us/46-our-solar-system/the-moon/observing-the-moon/128-how-does-the-position-of-moonrise-and-moonset-change-intermediate

At BEST the full Moon is close to the same rise and set locations in the same season but since the full moon is not always on the equinoxes then it is not true  that it sets at the same point as the Sun on the equinoxes.

I agree, the perfect fit during a solar eclipse has always interested me, huge coincidence..

so there's plenty of theories about the moon, from it being artificial, to being a spaceship, all sorts

in no way does it imply that the earth is flat though, no matter what it is or where it came from

a LUNAR eclipse proves we're a globe 100%

the last quarter phase in autumn rises and sets in the NorthEast and NorthWest.
AGAIN only the full Moon rise and set location in sutumn is similar.  Since it is NOT a full Moon on the upcoming equinox, it will NOT rise and set in the same location as the Sun.

you can check the location it will set here
http://www.heavens-above.com/moon.aspx
Set to September 22, 2016 (aka the equinox) and you'll see it does not rise at 90 degrees and does not set at 270 degrees.  In fact it varies some depending on the location you are at.

Perhaps you would like me to bring into our discussion the Allais effect...

Except it isn't always perfect.  The majority of eclipses are annular eclipses where the Moon doesn't completely cover the Sun.

frenat, you seem not to understand what is going on.

The references I brought to your attention are RE references, they are not mine: none other than Farouk El-Baz perhaps the most important scientist who took part in the Apollo 11 mission calculations and the works published by the University of Michigan.


Your reference does not address the points you are trying to raise at all.

Indeed, it could NOT do so, since then we would have TWO DIFFERENT RE theories on the rising/setting vernal points of the Sun/Moon, published by two different universities, competing with each other.

Again, these references are totally RE: not mine at all.

If you have an issue with them, go ahead and write to your local university, and see the response you will get; until then, the information I posted stands correct.

Heliocentric model seems rather impossible, if not miraculous..... that the earth's shadow at those distances would perfectly fit over the Moon.

The earth's moon is NOT a "perfect fit" with the sun by any means. In particular, the apparent size of moon varies quite considerably.
Here are photos of the moon at its closest (left) and farthest (right) distances from earth:


The apparent size of the sun varies over a year from 0.5242° to 0.5422°
and the apparent size of the moon varies over a month from 0.4923° to 0.5548°.

So the ratio of (sun size apparent)/(moon apparent size) varies from 94% to 110%. Quite a significant difference.

And you prove you didn't even bother to check where the Moon will rise and set on the next equinox.  I dare you to check the second link I posted and see for yourself where the Moon rise and set location will be for yourself and then verify on the equinox.  And the other reference I posted DOES address my points as at the end of the article it mentions the approimate rise/set locations for the Moon according to phase and season.  Again since the equinoxes and solstices do not always occur on the same phases of the Moon they cannot always have the same Moon rise/set locations.

Your reference agreed with me in the that, the FULL moon (as I said) and not the Moon in general (as you said), is high when the sun is low and vice versa.  I showed it is wrong about the rise and set locations on the equinoxes.  All you have to do is look.  How sad that you could not.  The moon rise and set locations is NOT a consequence of a round Earth.  There is nothing that says the Moon should rise and set at certain specific locations on the equinoxes or solstices nor should there be.  I explained that by the fact that the Moon goes from its furthest North to its furthest South and back over he course of a month.  If he had said that the Full Moon in those seasons rose and set in those locations then he would be correct and that may be what he was trying to say but he did not.

As for Farouk El-Baz, he had a Bachelor's, Master's, and a PhD in Geology and his involvement with NASA was in selection of landing sites and training astronauts in photography.  I would not expect him to be an expert on astronomy and as I showed, he was wrong regarding the rise and set locations of the Moon.  Educated people are wrong sometimes, especially when they stray from their area of expertise. 

But it again has nothing to do with round Earth as nothing in round Earth says the Moon has to rise or set in a certain location.  The specifics of the Moon's orbit set that.

quoted again to preserve references so all can see for themselves.

You have totally missed the moral of the story: both Farouk El-Baz and Isaac Asimov do not believe in the official theory which tells us that the Sun being covered by the Moon to the centimeter, during a solar eclipse, is just a coincidence.

What are the chances that the Moon would naturally find an orbit so perfect that it would cover the Sun at an eclipse and appear from Earth to be the same size?

There is no astronomical reason why the Moon and the Sun should fit so well. It is the sheerest of coincidences, and only the Earth among all the planets is blessed in this fashion.


Let us now get to back to the simultaneous eclipses described by Columbus.

From America, Christopher Columbus also wrote to the king and the queen of Spain about the simultaneous eclipses:

You do realize that now you have a big problem.

NO ONE in the official chronology of history, not the Inquisition, not the Catholic royalty of Spain, not any of the scientists at that time, complains about these facts.

Columbus could never claim that the Earth is round, while at the same time he would be describing an astronomical event which nullifies the RE scenario.

but there's no chance columbus was wrong? Instead its hundreds and thousands of scientists?

..jus sayin'
