Hello. I personally do not believe in the flat earth but joined this server primarily to both learn what it is that flat earthers believe and to maybe discuss some of the stuff people who think the earth is a globe like myself believe. I promise I'm not going to be a jerk or anything like that. I know several other globe earth believers can be hostile but trust me I come in peace.

@A Search for Roche's Rifle just a friendly discussion. The biggest issue with both politics and scientific issues like the flat earth/globe earth is that for the most part neither party is willing to consider the other sides perspective and there is a lot of toxicity between groups. I’m hoping that by by discussing things in a friendly way can allow both parties to learn from each other rather than by creating hatred between them

You do realize according to NASA Low Earth Orbit is pretty close to earth and the satellite wouldn’t be able to see much of earth all at once.

Also NASA does have some photos of earth that assuming NASA actually did send astronauts to space were taken from Apollo Rockets on their way to the moon

One thing I would like to bring up is the earths celestial poles. On a flat earth, there could only be One Celestial Pole on our planet. However on a globe there would be 2. Therefore if we were to go to the southern hemisphere and find a second celestial pole wouldn’t the earth have to be a globe

A celestial pole is the point where the earths rotation relative to the stars is visible it’s not related to compasses and magnets @Citizen Z

It’s fine and an understandable mistake

It would but it wouldn’t be visible to us

It would be bellow us and so far nobody’s tried to go to the bottom of the earth assuming the earth is flat

The pictures you sent are confusing me I’m not sure why you are comparing stars to a magnetic field

Hello everyone. I'm here because I want to have friendly respectful discussions about the flat earth. I personally believe the earth is a globe How are all of you?

Pretty good @KSPgamer
