What is the Moon?

What is the Moon?

I have identify a sort of an issue among the flat earth folks, regarding the essence of the Moon. Some say,  "it is plasma", others say  "it's a holographic protection"...all sorts of stuff. I saw even some digital effect/defect video that is circulating the YouTube as  "Moon Ripples" or "Moon Waves" of a very popular guy, who also runs a paid radio show, who firmly states that "there is nothing material up there". I replicated the exact effect on Gimp, just to demonstrate that this is a tech issue, and has nothing to do with the Moon.

I am so curious, if there is somebody among the FE movement, who has coined a sound hypothesis about the Moon.


Cheers!

Regarding the moon and it's translucency. I am an ardent FE supporter, who is into astronomy for long time. I do not care what NASA say but try to unlearn all lies, and to apply my own understanding based on personal observation with a telescope. I do that on an almost habitual basis following the paths of the celestial bodies using almanac. I am an ex member of an astronomical society. I used to enjoy it because it was very practical, such as building telescopes from scratch, etc. Now everything has gone delusional. I observe the moon through telescope and to me it seems as the most opaque object that eclipses almost anything that is on her path, including the Sun. Even the old school FE supporters, such as Parallax S.R. ( "Earth not a Globe" Section 9 the opening passage he states it explicitly) had no doubt that when comes to solar eclipse it is the moon that covers the sun It is not so with the Lunar eclipse though. This is some great mystery for me. A couple of months ago there was an occultation of Mars by the moon which i manage to photograph decently . I personally observed the entire spectacle from Mars "kissing" the moon's limb from the one side, then disappeared completely for over an hour, and finally appeared on the other side of the limb continuing his path on the ecliptic line.

The Moon seems both a reflector and self-luminary. It reflects light from the Sun. Again, one should observe it with telescope or astronomical binoculars that give clear notion over its structure -- the so called "craters" (please, do not intimidate me for this vocabulary which is borrowed from the conventional astronomy. I do call them craters because this is how they look like. If somebody coin a better term, I would use it). Everybody can see that this "craters" have lit part but also they cast shadows. This shadows are changing every hour with accordance to the sun. This is a prof to me that the moon is a reflector.
The moon appears to be spherical through a telescope. She behaves as a sphere in every aspect of perspectives. I know that she appears differently with unaided eyes. It's not a flat disc. No.

I am afraid to use the internet. It is filthy and almost unusable. It will soon disappear -- no more than a decade. In five years AL will replace all sorts of direct human interactions. They won't even write their messages but will rely on Al which is almost accomplished. If somebody wish to speak in one-to-one with me about the celestial bodies on FE scenario i use Zoom. That is the only one thing I have, because it some sort of private place (a bit spied but still private). So you can message me.

The moon does not reflect sunlight , or if it does then it alters the properties of sunlight.

The moon does not reflect light according to laws of optics and reflection therefore I can't see it as a sphere anymore .Education tells us it's a sphere but known scientific laws say otherwise.

There should be a hotspot in the centre of a full moon visible to the naked eye but there is none. Science is unable to offer an explanation of this . Magic moon dust is the best they can come up with. Spherical bodies scatter light in all directions according to the known laws of reflection

When I look through my telescopes I only see shadows at the edges of its disc which suggests to me its either slightly concave or convex. When I focus on the moons surface all of it is completely in focus , should that be or if the middle part of the full moon is 1000mls nearer shouldn't I have to adjust the focus. I am not sure this is correct though.

Perhaps it is a reflection onto the dome . It is a mystery even to science and honest astronomers.

Ruth441, don't let the bastards grind you down , don't despair -their plans will not succeed.

Glad your here.

Peace , TSR

Thank you for your answer!

But, if the moon was a disc there would have been some perspective distortions observed,  that would make her to appear a bit elliptical from a certain angle?  Instead the limb is always a circle. This is a proof to me that the moon has at least hemi-spherical surface from our side. The hidden part of course is a mystery.
