Introduction

Dear Visitors,                                                                                                                                    April 21, 2017

Thank you for stopping at FlatEarthLunacy.com

As a scientist with college degree in Astronomy, minor in Physics and Mathematics, I was appalled to find folks telling outright falsities and presenting bad science to bolster suspicion of our known accepted reality - that the Earth is a beautiful blue globe.

This blog clearly shows scientific proofs that debunk everything that flat Earth proponents claim.  Here we also expose the comments those YouTube video channels delete, because they don't want you to see them.

The Earth is not flat.  That claim is a conspiracy theory perpetrated by ignorant people who have ulterior personal motives and agendas.

The Earth is a beautiful blue spheroid globe spinning on an axis 23.5° once each day, and orbiting the Sun every 365.25 days.

Flat Earth - If the Moon is just a LIGHT, why is it 6-times brighter when FULL then when 1/2 full? And why the shadows?


Dear Readers,

Flat Earth advocates regard the Moon as "the lesser light to govern the night," yet they have mistakenly taken that to mean that the Moon is self-illuminating and is not necessary a solid physical orb.  Yet science has shown us beyond any doubt, that the Moon is a round physical body in orbit with the Earth around a common center of gravity.

The Moon is a real physical body in space, with craters, mountains, and other surface features...

The Moon in not self-illuminating.  It does not generate light of any kind on its own.  The Moon is visible to us here on the Earth only because it reflects the light of the Sun.

A spectrum analysis of the Moon's light indicates that it is indeed only reflected Sun light.   

Take any beam of light, pass it thru a prism, and look at the rainbow colors.  All those colors are part and parcel of the white light.  
Look more closely at the prism light (called spectrum) and observe lines, which are missing frequencies of light due to chemical elements absorbing it.  Each chemical element has its own unique specific absorptions at various light wavelengths.  They are a signature indicating the presence of that element in the light source.

Here is the spectrum of the Sun and Moon.  They are essentially the same - indicating that Moon light is the same as Sun light.

This new article below from Sky & Telescope magazine clearly explains why the full Moon's reflected sunlight is not twice that of 1/2 full, as should be expected if the Moon were a light according to flat Earth advocates.

Ask them why...

If the Moon is just a LIGHT as claimed by flat Earth proponents, then why is it 6-times brighter when full, then when 1/2 full?  

It should only be 2x (twice) as bright as the 1/2 moon shown below, but it's not.  It's 6-times brighter.  WHY?

Full Moon is about six times brighter than the quarter (half-illuminated) Moon
