1. The Moon
Now that humanity knows quite positively that the Moon is not a piece of cheese or a playful god, the phenomena that accompany it (from its monthly cycles to lunar eclipses) are well-explained. It was quite a mystery to the ancient Greeks, though, and in their quest for knowledge, they came up with a few insightful observations that helped humanity figure out the shape of our planet.

Aristotle (who made quite a lot of observations about the spherical nature of the Earth) noticed that during lunar eclipses (when the Earth’s orbit places it directly between the Sun and the Moon, creating a shadow in the process), the shadow on the Moon’s surface is round. This shadow is the planet's, and it’s a great clue about the spherical shape of the Earth.

LUNAR ECLIPSE

A sequential view of the lunar eclipse that occurred on April 15, 2014. You can see Earth's shadow crossing the face of the Moon, and the shadow's shape is curved because Earth is spherical.

Javier Sánchez

Since the earth is rotating (see the “Foucault Pendulum” experiment for a definite proof, if you are doubtful), the consistent oval-shadow it produces in each and every lunar eclipse proves that the earth is not only round but spherical—absolutely, utterly, beyond a shadow of a doubt not flat.

@Human Sheeple thanks I appreciate what ur doing

I say Earth is apparently mostly locally flat under certain weather conditions, be specific please

perfect time for the title of this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AZxUtZ2ZgI

K take this then, take ur pc, throw it out the window, and since there is no gravity, it shouldnt fall to the ground and get destroyed yes?=D @Human Sheeple

@Human Sheeple painful to see how people are close minded enough to believe everything they hear

If Foucault pendulums proved the earth moves, wrecking balls would never stop swaying.

alright explain

why do ships appear on the horizon

and not just always stay there

@Android Prove the cause of the shadow on the moon is the Earth, you should be able to test this with a big balloon or a temporary structure and cast your very own shadow on the moon as if you were putting your hand in front of a torch. It's been tested ZERO times by the way

Hi guys

Do you have a sense of size

What did I miss

You know it's a planet we're talking about right

@Thot Patrol nothing

you don't launch a baloon and pretend to see a shadow of it on the moon

@Human Sheeple what grade did u get in science btw?

first of all it would pop

Ok then

@bobrossismygod f- most likely

Hello

just saying my theories

i like how your main point is "nasa is lying to us and the government hides the truth"

Wtf is ur profile pic @Atomic

@Thot Patrol some fat man fixing a tv that's been uploaded onto phub

you know, the people that believed in flat earth were christian fanatics that did crusades for example.

then, something that you refuse to believe, came

uhhhhhhhhh

a pornhub video

the industrial revolution and the discoveries of the goddamn humanity

That's what I thought it was

all you idiots debating if the earth is flat or a globe its obviously a cube ╚(ಠ_ಠ)=┐

but hey that's totally irrelevant cause earth has to be flat

Here's a model of the globe

ok and?
