On the flat earth the sun and moon are both supposedly 50 km in diameter,
so the above observed umbral widths are quite impossible on the flat earth model.

I would love to see some photographs from planes of this upcoming eclipse, to check the size of the shadow on the ground. Hopefully someone will take some (unaltered) ones that we can all look at afterwards.
What makes anyone think that planes fly enough to see the entire shadow? ???

Yeah, started a thread and I there is at least one more new one asking this.  So far no flat earthier has come forward with an explanation.

Found this, linked to a decent spot to watch for a couple minutes.

Explains the west-east shadow fairly well on a flat model. He says the sun and moon both circle clockwise, sun slightly faster so that it catches up every 2 weeks causing the moon phases ranging from full-new. In the case of this eclipse the sun will be approaching the moon from the east (casting the moon's shadow to the west) and overtaking it around the middle of the country (straight down shadow) then passing it casting the shadow back towards the east/south carolina, in a more oblong shape.

I am just having trouble visualizing the shape (sphere?) of sun and moon and their relative sizes and distances from each other when the eclipse occurs.
Since no-one seems to give the heights of the sun and moon there seems no way to check the details,
but that video does give a reasonable  qualitative explanation of at least the direction of the shadow's motion.

But, as far as I can see, it does not address at all the the size of the shadows that are observed. This is from another post:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Look at this diagram:
That should make it completely obvious that
  • if the light source size is greater than the size of the object, then the umbra is smaller than the size of your object,
  • if the light source size is equal in size to the object, then the umbra is equal in size to the object and
  • if the light source size is less than the size of the object, then the umbra is greater than the size of the object.
Then look at past eclipses:
Date
     
Eclipse Type
     
Path Width
2001 Jun 21
     
Total central
     
200.0 km
2002 Jun 10
     
Annular central
     
13.5 km
2003 Nov 23
     
Total central
     
495.5 km
All from: Solar Eclipse Paths: 2001 - 2020.
So here we have eclipses with (umbral) path width as small as 13.5 km and as wide as 495.5 km.
But, we know that
  • if the light source size is greater than the size of the object, then the umbra is smaller than the size of your object,
  • if the light source size is equal in size to the object, then the umbra is equal in size to the object and
  • if the light source size is less than the size of the object, then the umbra is greater than the size of the object.
On the flat earth the sun and moon are both supposedly 50 km in diameter,
so the above observed umbral widths are quite impossible on the flat earth model.

As you are a Heliocentric how are you an authority on the size of the Sun and Moon ?

When I cover my luminaire at home with a solid object the same size the vast majority of the room is in shadow even though the luminaire is only 300 mm

The vast majority of the 25 square meter room is in the shade.

So what?  That doesn’t matter in the least.  If you would actually read the Canon you’d know that none of that matters and not completely accurate.

The problem is the Saros is a bit short for long term prediction.  That’s where the Inex cycle comes in; which the cycle used by Hipparchos.  A Greek astronomer and mathematician credited with early spherical geometry and believed in a spherical earth...so there’s that.

Early 20th century works combined the Saros & Inex cycles into the Saros-Inex Panorama.  When combined they become a better predictive tool.  e.g. A new Saros cycle will start an Inex cycle from the beginning of the previous Saros cycle. 

The Saros-Inex Panorama is the time predictive tool and even that is modified by the variations is orbits and positions of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. One thing the Saros cycle never did and does not now predict the path, only the periodicity at a given location.  The path of the shadow and modifications to the timing are all calculated on a heliocentric celestial coordinate system...NASA’s numeric model.

While, explanation of the big picture analysis is accurate, I’m sure I don’t have the details exactly right but you clearly have a lack of understanding how the Saros cycle was used originally and how it’s use today in modeling eclipses.

BTW, stop calling it my “heliocentric religion”.  I’m a Christian and don’t worship the Sun.  Be respectful of other’s religious beliefs.

Well just the darkest part that is 70 miles wide. I think it will be interesting to see from the air.

The path of the next solar eclipse (2024) which moves south-west to north-east and the width of totalities are difficult to reconcile with any model, flat or round, without a lot of thinking and analysis that most people simply leave up to "trusted" scientists.

I think the distance of sun and moon from each other and their vertical distances from each other vary over the years as each goes through its cycle or patterns, which could account for the different widths of the 'totality' paths.

True enough, however, despite what all of the ray diagrams being bandied about might suggest, there is no sharp distinction between the darkest part of the shadow (umbra) and the not quite as dark part (penumbra), so I'm not sure what you would expect to see.

It can predict eclipses out longer than that so what’s your point?  The fact is, It gets less accurate the further out you go.

For you to equate my belief in a spherical earth to worship of a false god or Satan is just plain wrong.  You are NOT God.  You do NOT get to judge me.

I have said many times that I'm saving the Ancient Babylonian Saros cycle for another thread as it warrants more of my time.

Let's look briefly at the facts :

The Ancient Babylonian Saros cycle can accurately predict Eclispes thousands of years into the future that is time and position and duration.

Even you admit that NASA's system is based on the Saros .

You Claim the Saros is less accurate than NASA's system unfortunately me and you will not be able to verify this if where fortunate we could live to a 100 not 2000.

So NASA which is a high tech "Space" :) agency has based it's model for Eclispes on a system that is over 4000 years old who's creators believed in a flat earth.

Lol.

Lol.

You Heliocentrics really do under estimate people's intelligence. ::)

Nasa have retrofitted their mathematics to the Saros cycle.

The Bible quite clearly says many times the Earth is firm and immovable.

You should pay particular attention to the word" immovable"

The Bible does not say the Earth spins rotates and wobbles through space at 70000 mph.

The Bible also says the Sun and Moon are the same size.

This makes your Heliocentric model an abomination.

As it goes against God.

So you believe in a model that goes against the word of God.

Now let's have a look at the "Law"


Commandment 9

You should not lie or give false testimony.



You also defend and tell others this Heliocentric model is the truth even though you have never seen it.

 (False testimony)

So I will tell you again.

YOU ARE NO CHRISTIAN   


Your Strange Heliocentric Religion is False.

The Babylonian's did have the same Model as did the Chinese as did the Sumerians;  that is reality.

Your Strange Heliocentric Religion is False.
So what?  That doesn’t matter in the least.  If you would actually read the Canon you’d know that none of that matters and not completely accurate.

The problem is the Saros is a bit short for long term prediction.  That’s where the Inex cycle comes in; which the cycle used by Hipparchos.  A Greek astronomer and mathematician credited with early spherical geometry and believed in a spherical earth...so there’s that.

Early 20th century works combined the Saros & Inex cycles into the Saros-Inex Panorama.  When combined they become a better predictive tool.  e.g. A new Saros cycle will start an Inex cycle from the beginning of the previous Saros cycle. 

The Saros-Inex Panorama is the time predictive tool and even that is modified by the variations is orbits and positions of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. One thing the Saros cycle never did and does not now predict the path, only the periodicity at a given location.  The path of the shadow and modifications to the timing are all calculated on a heliocentric celestial coordinate system...NASA’s numeric model.

While, explanation of the big picture analysis is accurate, I’m sure I don’t have the details exactly right but you clearly have a lack of understanding how the Saros cycle was used originally and how it’s use today in modeling eclipses.

BTW, stop calling it my “heliocentric religion”.  I’m a Christian and don’t worship the Sun.  Be respectful of other’s religious beliefs.

Mike

The Ancient Babylonian Saros system can predict Eclispes 1700 years into the Future.

It can predict eclipses out longer than that so what’s your point?  The fact is, It gets less accurate the further out you go.

It’s interesting that’s the only response you can come up with relating to my explanation of how NASA uses the Saros cycle; which just goes to show that I've proven your assertion that NASA eclipse predictions are based on FET is not only wrong but that you also have very little understanding of the Saros cycle and the Canon.

You are NO Christian if you are a Heliocentric.

Psalm 93:1: "Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm ."

Matthew 6:24

"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Mammon".

NASA's system is based on Saros in much the same way that General Relativity is based on Newtonian mechanics.

That is to say, NASA took the ancient Saros cycle and greatly improved its precision by using a much more accurate model of the solar system than the Ancient Babylonians had access to.

You Claim the Saros is less accurate than NASA's system unfortunately me and you will not be able to verify this if where fortunate we could live to a 100 not 2000.
Not really.  All you have to do is look up the ancient Babylonian prediction for the upcoming eclipse and compare it to NASA's prediction.

Neither were the Ancient Babylonians, although early Jews and Christians did take some of their influences from them.
