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 NOT - Distance to the Moon (flat Earth con-game) easily exposed by you and a friend


Distance to the Moon - flat Earth con game - easily exposed by you and a friend

Dear Readers, 

Flat Earth conspiracy advocates readily claim that both the Sun and Moon are very close to the Earth, say only about 3,000-miles up.  A local Sun is necessary for their flat model (which fails against reality in every aspect) and their pseudo explanations (using magical made up physical laws) to simulate seasonal changes on the Earth.

However, for hundreds of years we have known that the Sun is about 93-millions miles away, and the Moon is about 239,900 miles away..

The first distance to be measured with any accuracy was that of the Moon. In the middle of the 2nd century BCE, Greek astronomer Hipparchus pioneered the use of a method known as parallax. The idea of parallax is simple: when objects are observed from two different angles, closer objects appear to shift more than do farther ones.

This is the simple experiment that you and a friend can replicate TODAY.

All you need is a friend who lives in another city/country than you.  The greater the separation (in terms of distance) between the two of you, the better.  That provides for a longer and more accurate parallax baseline.  Take a picture of the Moon in the sky at the same time, using the same camera make & model (with same resolution, focus and zoom settings) so you create photos like the ones shown here below...

Than its just simple high school trigonometry to solve for distance...

Try it yourself.  Discriminate between what is real and what is fiction - the fake arguments of flat Earth people pushing personal agendas to obfuscate the truth.

How far away is the Moon?
