Magnification Of The Sun/Moon Near The Horizon

Horizon Rising Flat Earth Sunset

Excellent, simply excellent!

Why are not people praising the above post by Eric?
It is without doubt a 100% proof of the Flat Earth...
FFS, it seems that people all want some kind of God acceptance, when it is in fact right before your eyes!

Interesting, the video was created by another Christpsychotic who's goal is to Create flat Earth FACTS around State Sponsored Theism (FICTION). This information is further elaborated by me in the comment section of this ODD video re-dub.

Maybe you can explain why you've returned a second time in a row, to praise Eric for a video he did not create?

Because it is an important video, the content is superb.
Forget who made it, whether he is a religious nut is irrelevant, he never mentions any religious garbage throughout the video anyway.

The trolls always ask to see a video of zooming the Sun back in as it sets to prove it's not disappearing beneath the ball Earth.  Here you go:

The reflection of the sun on the water ALONE disproves curvature. It's one of the simplest testable visible proofs, the reflection going all the way from your feet to the horizon...repeat that on a ball.

Moving away and lowering due to perspective:

here is a good explanation on why the sun doesn't shrink so much when it moves away from the observer.

Why Do the Sun and Moon Get Bigger Near the Horizon?



Often when globe Earthers hear that the law of perspective is the reason that ships disappear beyond the horizon, as well as the reason that the Sun and Moon rise and set in the sky, their next question is why, then, do the Sun and Moon appear to get bigger near the horizon? Understandably, a long row of streetlamps appears to rise in height until reaching overhead and then sets on the horizon, similar to the Sun and Moon, but unlike the Sun and Moon, the lampposts, boats, and most other things claimed to disappear due to perspective also shrink in size as they recede from the observer. So why, if the Sun and Moon rise and set due to the law of perspective, do they also not appear to shrink as they approach the horizon?

I agree... anyone thinking the sun may shrink is not dealing with a perspective issue, but ego... their ego are expanded! Believing only in what the eye may see will keep a person spinning in space... at least in their imagination!

Is perspective a law?

I get this question a lot. There are popular known and accepted scientific laws such as The Laws of Motion or the Law of Thermodynamics. Laws are repeatable and replicated by peers within the community. Science has always agreed experiments need to be tested and tested again and have the ability to be replicated by their peers. All with the same expected results or predictions. It must be based on experiments or observations with predicted results. The laws of motion, thermodynamics, and perspective are repeatable and replicated with experimentation or observations by other scientists. Yielding the same results or predictions. Now there’s one accepted law that is accepted outright. It has never been repeated yielding the predicted results, scientists the world over cannot replicate their finding. They all conclude with differing results. It’s the fake Law of Gravity. Never tested or repeated or replicated by scientists. The Law of Gravity on a helium balloon? Or a stretched slinky released from a rooftop. Not a law. Now there are many scientific processes that share like experiments or observations with accurate predictions yet we don’t call them laws.

I have always tested the appearance of atmospheric magnifications of the sun and moon before the vanishing point by using a foreground object as a comparison. During the sun or moon's position high in the sky, I would use my pinky finger nail at arm's length as a comparison. then at the horizon. I noted each time that there was no magnification only an optical illusion. the luminaries were on the same scale as the first comparisons high in the sky. It's so cool that holding a foreground object at arm's length breaks the illusion and you clearly see no magnification.

Thank you for the explanation.

I’m struggling to understand the moon, it looks bright like a luminary however when it’s zoomed in on the light disappears and it looks then like a grey rock. Does anyone have an explanation for why the light from the moon disappears when zoomed in?

I am looking at fresh moon pics right now.  They are in color.  But you have a good question.

Two astrophotographers have captured "the most ridiculously detailed" photo of the moon

"In the tribute image, the pair managed to capture significant color data that highlights the reds, grays, blues and browns that help make the moon so unique. Without Matherne's ability to capture this data, McCarthy said on Reddit, the image would have been a "dreary gray."

"The color in this image is real, but presented with increased saturation so it is easily visible to our eyes," he wrote. "The reddish tones demonstrate areas rich in iron and feldspar, while the bluish areas are spots where the regolith is rich in titanium. Oxidization from influence from Earth's atmosphere makes the colors appear like they do.""

I don’t think it’s a question of the moon “losing” its light but more about the mechanics of a camera. Aperture will adjust with a bright object. If you aim your mobile phone camera to the TV it first appears as a blinding white light and then it adjusts to the image detail expected. You can try that experiment at home. Same with the sun. We can barely look at the sun with the naked eye for less then a second however we can observe time-lapse videos or photos of the sun. Also moonlight and sunlight have different properties.

A great thread and video on the different properties between the sun and moon.

Thinking about the Moon's illumination and comparing it to a highway billboard.

I think there are only three choices of illumination for a billboard/Moon.

Spotlight billboard

"a spot of light used to show up a particular area, person, or thing"

Backlit billboard

Backlit describes advertising structures or billboards that have illumination which sends light through the advertisement for higher visibility. Ads must be printed on special translucent surfaces.

OLED billboard

"An OLED display works without a backlight because it emits visible light. Thus, it can display deep black levels and can be thinner and lighter than a liquid crystal display (LCD)."

Any others?

Which method likely illuminates the Moon?

Thanks for the responses, I’m struggling to see how the moon can be classed as a luminary then, it doesn’t look to me like it’s creating it’s own light at all. The post from colander bowl above with the colour photos clearly looks like a rock to me, it also looks like ball if you look at the shading of it.

I’m still questioning all of this because I see good arguments for flat earth and globe and I haven’t a clue who is telling the truth and who isn’t. The moon description I’ve been hearing doesn’t make sense based on photos like these where it clearly looks like a solid object

This is true regarding the camera but zoom in on the sun and the light doesn’t disappear like the moon. This tells me that the moon simply isn’t its own light source like the sun is, and it looks just like a physical rock. This is one part of following/learning flat earth theory that I just can’t subscribe to, I see no evidence that it’s anything other than a rock
