The moon is also flat.
It blows my mind how fricking weird you round-earthers are.

If you are smarter and better adjusted, it should be simple for you to explain some of the questions posed by Ross.

I don't think "refraction" accounts for somehow reflecting a perfect on level non mirror image of what you're looking for.
But the craziest thing is that can be chalked up to vague "refraction" but using atmospheric phenomenon to explain things from a flat earth perspective is verboten. For example why ships "disappear" over the horizon or the fact you can't see all the way across the earth. He wants to have his cake and eat it too

I don't know why all you do is post emoticons
Serious people deserve serious responses.
Someone that believes the earth is flat and posts nonsense, and doesn't understand why "being up high" would not matter on a completely flat plane...
They deserve nothing but emoticons.
You are either trolling are just one of the dumbest people imaginable.

Why does this image from google earth of the South Pole not come from an overhead shot from a satellite? You can see the lines towards the center.

I expect him to continue ignoring.
Just an FYI...flat earthers have a website similar to AnswersInGenesis where they have complete nonsense explanations for anything

I don't think so, but, either way, this thread is like an old school OT thread, so I hope he continues.

And your question is pretty stupid TBH. Why have you posted an image and asked why it wasn't taken by satellite instead of posting an image of Antarctica that was taken by satellite?

Can you explain a lunar eclipse?

quote:Fine. The line of attacks
1. Why is a flight from Sydney to Johannesburg about the same time and distance as a flight from Sydney to Los Angeles?
2. How do satellites work? GPS, geostationary, Starlink, any of them.
3. Why can't we always see the sun?
4. Why don't all straight paths lead to Antarctica?
5. Why does it take so little time to sail or fly all the way around Antarctica?
6. Why are some constellations visible in the northern hemisphere but not the southern hemisphere and vice versa?
7. Why does everyone on Earth see the same face of the moon?
1. I haven't studied that specifically, however incongruences in flight patterns have already been pointed out. For example transpacific flights from Asia to California go over the Arctic, which is out of the way on the globe but straight on on a flat map,
2. Weather balloons. Not that complicated
3.It's on the other side of the earth. Same as round earth. You say the light doesn't reach it because earth blocks it, even though the sun is millions and millions of miles away. And it reflects off the moon at night. Why doesn't any sunlight wrap around the ball?
4. They do!
5. How long did it take you?
6. Why are only "some", different, why are they still predictable and unchanging?
7. 6 and 7 seem to be at odds. They don't see the same stars but do see the same exact side of the moon, no other angle whatsoever no matter where they are on earth. Weird.

He’s laid it on with irony pretty thick. Some of his work:
-Claims you can see further from elevation
-Attacks everyone for believing authority and being indoctrinated, despite claiming Ivy League degree
-Calls himself a genius despite not being able to grasp fundamental physics (which I know for a fact are taught in undergrad to pre-med majors)

Can you explain a lunar eclipse?
It's likely the shadow of an unlit "dark" object. You know even the scientists believe in dark matter and unexplained sources of gravity.

I just took a screenshot from google earth. You can zoom in yourself to see. The lines from the images are all stitched together to the center. Why didn't the satellite just take an overhead shot? Why do they need to stitch together the images? Think about it. And go check it out for yourself.

Two ways to prove the earth is round
1. Watch a lunar eclipse
Shadow Cast by a Flat Earth
2. Measure shadows hundreds of miles apart
Pick two locations that are some distance apart (at least a couple hundred miles from each other and on the same meridian). Have a person at each location measure the length of the shadow of equally tall objects at the same time of day.
On a flat Earth, the shadow that is cast by each would be of the same length. However, on a spherical Earth, one shadow is longer than the other. That's because, due to the curvature of Earth, the sun will hit one part of Earth at one angle and another part of Earth at a different angle even at the same time of day.
This experiment has been around since about 240 B.C., when Greek mathematician Eratosthenes compared the shadows cast in both Syene—now Aswan, Egypt—and Alexandria on the summer solstice. Eratosthenes had learned of a well in Syene where once a year on the summer solstice, the sun would illuminate the entire bottom of the well and tall buildings and other objects would not cast a shadow. However, he noticed that shadows were being cast on the summer solstice in Alexandria, so he measured the angle of the shadow and found it to be an angle of about 7.2°.
