How does a lunar eclipse work on a flat earth?

How does a lunar eclipse work on a flat earth?

An unknown object slides in front of the sun every once and a while.
I am not sure what name they gave the object.
it was something like, sub moon, anti moon,...
I have to check how it was exactly...but something like that.

How does a lunar eclipse work on a flat earth?

I would begin with Ptolemy  http://www.caeno.org/pdf/Stephenson_Historical%20eclipses_Ptolemy%20Babylon.pdf

No, Ptolemy doesn't help.  The lunar eclipse can't be explained without introducing an additional unseen object,  Most refer to it as the shadow object,  and it mysteriously appears whenever a lunar eclipse ocuurs, then vanishes immediately thereafter.   

Nice to see you getting into flat earth theory,  it's an interesting field.   Have a go at explaining sunsets, or why the horizon is a sharp line on a clear day. 

Have you managed to educate yourself about the moonshramp?

I thought Ptolemy predicted many eclipses? I also thought maybe the poster would do more research after Ptolemy. Which articles do you suggest?

Ptolemy thought the earth to be a sphere at the center of the universe and the moon revolved around the earth,  along with everything else. 

Mathematically the Copernican system and the Ptolemaic systems are equivalent.  Just one has the earth at the center, the other has the sun at the center. 

So why choose Copernican over Ptolemaic?   Simplicity.   The Ptolemaic system is horrendously complex, whereas the Copernican system is elegantly simple.

So Ptolemaic systems don't help the flat earthers explain eclipses.

So,

1.- What is the size of this unknown object?
2.- What is it made of?
3.- How far from earth is the unknown object?
4.- Is this object flat?
5.- Why cant we see it?
6.- Is there any evidence for this object?

As big as the sun
Black Matter
Far Enough
Next Question
Because it's Black
Solar Eclipses...

The reason question.... How can RE'rs predict Solar Eclipses and FE'rs Can't....

Shadow object. The anti-moon is to do with tides, I think.

I die everytime Rayzor mentions moonshrimp...

Oh, Hello, have you read up on Moonshrimp Yet? No? Well... Let me tell you why the moon is visible!


Also, the dark object that blocks the sun for a couple of seconds doesn't have moonshrimp, which is why you can't see it...

Is that a form of segregation?

It's moonshramp, get it right.

So,

1.- What is the size of this unknown object?
2.- What is it made of?
3.- How far from earth is the unknown object?
4.- Is this object flat?
5.- Why cant we see it?
6.- Is there any evidence for this object?

1. Same size as the moon.
2. Same stuff as the moon.
3. Same distance as the moon.
4. Same shape as the moon.
5. You can see it, it's black.
6. The evidence is Lunar eclipses.   

It's remarkably easy to find,  go out at night and look up at the sky,   see that dark patch.   That's the shadow object. 

So,

1.- What is the size of this unknown object?
2.- What is it made of?
3.- How far from earth is the unknown object?
4.- Is this object flat?
5.- Why cant we see it?
6.- Is there any evidence for this object?

Maybe you need to read "the Wiki" and end up with more questions. 

The Lunar Eclipse

A Lunar Eclipse occurs about twice a year when a satellite of the sun passes between the sun and moon.

This satellite is called the Shadow Object. Its orbital plane is tilted at an angle of about 5°10' to the sun's orbital plane, making eclipses possible only when the three bodies (Sun, Object, and Moon) are aligned and when the moon is crossing the sun's orbital plane (at a point called the node). Within a given year, considering the orbitals of these celestial bodies, a maximum of three lunar eclipses can occur. Despite the fact that there are more solar than lunar eclipses each year, over time many more lunar eclipses are seen at any single location on earth than solar eclipses. This occurs because a lunar eclipse can be seen from the entire half of the earth beneath the moon at that time, while a solar eclipse is visible only along a narrow path on the earth's surface.

Total lunar eclipses come in clusters. There can be two or three during a period of a year or a year and a half, followed by a lull of two or three years before another round begins. When you add partial eclipses there can be three in a calendar year and again, it's quite possible to have none at all.

The shadow object is never seen because it orbits close to the sun. As the sun's powerful vertical rays hit the atmosphere during the day they will scatter and blot out nearly every single star and celestial body in the sky. We are never given a glimpse of the celestial bodies which appear near the sun during the day - they are completely washed out by the sun's light.

It is estimated that the Shadow Object is around five to ten miles in diameter. Since it is somewhat close to the sun the manifestation of its penumbra upon the moon appears as a magnified projection. This is similar to how during a shadow puppet show your hand's shadow can make a large magnified projection upon your bedroom wall as you move it closer to the flashlight.

I find a number of impossibilities in that, but I'll leave that to someone else to sort out.

Did you know that the phases of the moon were caused by migrating luminous moonshramp?   Amazing really.   Almost hard to believe.
