Solar eclipse...

Hey globers! If the earth is so undeniably spherical, then someone explain to me how there is going to be a perfect solar eclipse on Aug. 21, 2017.

Round planet orbits sun, round moon orbits  planet, sometimes moon gets between sun and planet.

Eclipse.

Eclipse.

Not likely. Ever heard of the Mayans? See video

Please!

That video is pure, absolute horse shit!

Please!

That video is pure, absolute horse shit!

So your admitting you have no way of arguing the facts? You just call it horse shit... Did you even watch the whole thing?

August 21st

Go outside.

Hey globers! If the earth is so undeniably spherical, then someone explain to me how there is going to be a perfect solar eclipse on Aug. 21, 2017.

Since both exact time and position of landfall/trajectory of that eclipse was predicted by using SHM calculations I really do wonder what point you're trying to make here. If any.

Why is he talking about lunar eclipses but showing footage of a plane chasing a solar eclipse?

All that information is fake, along with EVERYTHING that NASA and every other space agency has achieved...


But that YouTube video is DA TRUTH!!!

When will you get WOKE'D??

Seriously? What do you think is so difficult about it.
The moon and sun, due to their respective distances and sizes are approximately the same angular size.
The moon is more variable due to its elliptical orbit.

If the moon passes in front of the sun, it will block the light of the sun.

What is wrong with this explanation?

Rather than just providing a video and basically just telling us to watch it, how about you explain it?
What argument is it trying to make?

Or here is a better idea:
Perhaps you can explain how eclipses work on your flat Earth?
Including both total and annular eclipses.

Please!

That video is pure, absolute horse shit!

Like the moon does not accelerate?

The time occupied by the moon in returning to the same star is called the time of her sidereal revolution. At the beginning of this century it amounted to 27.32 mean solar days. Its value is not the same in every century. From the time of the most ancient observations until the present day, we find that the sidereal revolution has been gradually becoming shorter and shorter. Will this acceleration always continue? This is a question which observation is incapable of deciding.

How about you stop spamming the same crap all over the place and focus on the discussion at hand?

No no, you have to give him a bit.  He is in the pre-temper tantrum phase.  He will shit all over other threads, but when too many people call him out he will explode.  If you sort of ignore it he may be able to avoid the explosion. 
It's the natural adolescence cycle of a young troll in puberty, there can be many of these phases.  We should use this time to study it.

OK, I will stop writing on this thread as of now!

In your picture the circumference of tropic of capricorn is two times bigger than circumference of tropic of cancer.
In reality it is not like that. People measured it.
Tropic of cancer and tropic of capricorn are the same, and both smaller than equator.

So this image makes more sense? This image that isn't about eclipses...makes more sense tan the actual explanaition for an eclipse...
k then.

You don't need to announce your buthurt departure.

I don't want to sound arogant here, but your explanation doesn't make any sense. This does:

So you can't point out anything wrong with our explanation?

2 objects in space, where their distance and size makes their apparent angular size roughly the same means that when the moon (opaque) passes in front of the sun (a light source) the moon will block the light of the sun, resulting in an eclipse.
Due to the proximity of the moon and it being physically smaller than the sun, the eclipse will be partial.

Again, what is wrong with that explanation?
The moon, being an opaque object, cases a shadow.

Get a light (preferably large) and a small ball (smaller than the light) and see what it does.

No, this doesn't make any sense at all.
You have the sun visible directly overhead at 3 different locations at once.
It is only directly overhead the equator at the equinox (both)
It is only directly overhead the tropic at the solstice, and that is one tropic per solstice.

You have the atmosphere simply being  a plane in the sky, no where near Earth.

So it doesn't even make sense in explaining Earth in general.

But more importantly, that doesn't have anything to do with eclipses.

Are you just trolling?

I have seen that very large picture of the Flat Earth map with the concave lens, etc., four times -- using up a lot of bandwidth -- without a coherent explanation of how this accounts for all the phenomena of a solar eclipse. 

Simple fact, the date and timing - and path of totality - of this solar eclipse - and of past and future solar eclipses - have all been calculated (accurately!) by adherents of Round Earth astronomy.  I have not encountered a Flat Earther who could do it.

This is not really a concave lens you know.  Even if it was, the light rays you have drawn would not be refracted in that way.

Here, this may help, just a youtube of how lenses work.  Who knows, it may help you come up with the next big Flat Earth lie.

I stopped at 4 minutes when he said "we know the earth has neither rotatonal nor orbital velocity. That has been proven," without citing his source or proof, and immediately following "we know the Earthis a flat plane, that has been proven," with, again, nothing to back that up.  This video is balderdash because he is attempting to prove that which he claims is already proven, this supporting this proof. Circular logic.

It's been a while but IIRC, that's a convexo concave lens.  Your refraction angles are all wrong.  You should probably check the various kinds of lenses prior to posting a picture like this.  In particular a convexo concave lens.

A convexo concave lens is about two thirds of the way down.

OK all you Heliocentric Priest,

Can you explain this to me about the shadows of the Solar Eclipse on Earth.

If the Moons diameter is 3474 km, all when light hits an object is parallel to it, and  it's shadow must be equal to or greater than the objects dimensions, why does the moon shadow on a Solar eclipse is only 70 miles wide?

Video time 8:28 till end



The Heliocentric hypothesis is wrong!!!!

Sorry, I could only watch until I heard this dumbasses theory that NASA is lying to us with a goal of "reducing the earth population to 500,000"

I may try again later, but I think two words should help you.
