1. Ok, get it...sort of. Really have to get my head around this one. Question: If the stars were in the same place how do the Falt Earthers explain that the stars are moving? We all know the images where a camera is set up in such a way that it ends up taking a picture of a night sky with the stars literally "drawing circles", as a result from long exposure.
2. Why should I? Too tired for that one... :shrug:
3. Never seen clouds behind the moon as well. But what is definitely missing in the theory about the reflection of the sun light is that the universe is a pretty cold place, and that a cover of clouds always results in a warmer environment, compare to the temps in the deserts. Sahara nights can be pretty cold I have heard. And quite often there is a definite difference in temp if cover vs no cover at night. So...the moon should be so warm that it reflects the warmth of the sun - which does not really work I suppose.
Heat up a rock and observe how rapidly it cools down. Same with the moon. Just because the sun warms it, it does not have any cloud cover or atmosphere so that the heat is retained, and a big part of the earth's cosy temperature has to do with how the atmospheric system (for the lack of a better word, since I am an absolute layman) retains the heat.
1. Because to them, its literally like the Truman Show with Jim Carrey - remember when the Sirius light fell? The stars are all on the dome/firmament. Not sure how many had or have telescopes. So if Earth is flat and stationary - it'd also be the center of the universe. Which is why there's concentric circles on time lapse. You can find some time lapse's of the night sky with the stars as streaks.
2. Obvious answer is areoplane windows are concave or fish eye'd to give the curvature.
3. If you have some time, google image either "clouds behind sun" or "clouds behind moon". Or, "93 million miles away" will give some other results. I'll admit I've seen it at night and it makes zero sense when you see it for go on for over a few minutes. As for the moon light being colder, it'd make sense for that to happen when its a clear night since it'd just be a cloudy night otherwise with a balanced ambient temp. There's a reason why a meadow is noticeably cooler than the surrounding tree's at night; without fog that is.
