But this isn't a debate server anymore
Yeah I just checked out the rules
Tag yourself I'm Amazon troll, because I immediately started talking bad about FEO...
We're not
The simple thing is, the mod abuse was keeping it alive
But this is Z's server so we should respect his regime
Yeah I don't want to start trouble
Me too
Just showing that I read the new rules
I read them up, down, left right and centre
Is Kevin here anymore? I've always just seen him and this server as a unit
Yes
@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS It is great to see you back.
@Samwise Your pic of the moon is great. 👍🏼
Speaking of the moon, I would like you to look into the Selenilion Eclipse of the moon.
I would like your serious thought into how this is even possible. I will provide you with a video.

Atmospheric refraction
A process where objects in the sky look higher in the sky than they are
Also the moon and sun are roughly opposite each other at that specific point, so that's why it's possible
Also it gives the location as los Alamos new Mexico
North of Santa Fe
It's elevation is 2231 metres above sea level
@Samwise Your theory is interesting indeed. However, can you please provide an explanation for why the shadow moves over the moon starting from the top? If the sun is located at the opposite horizon, the shadow should start from the bottom.
Not exactly
If you look you'll see that the moon isn't full
It's eclipsed with three quarters of the visible surface facing the earth
Remember the moon orbits the earth, it also is influenced by the sun, depending on how much light is facing it
So yeah
Particles in the atmosphere tend to distort stuff
I don't know if you know about the salt planes in Namibia?
No I do not.
It was a large lake that dried up leaving behind a dry, plane
The wind would pick up huge amounts of dust particles into the atmosphere
It creates a magnifying affect
I've been there when I was like 13
The moon was huuuuuuuuuge
That still doesn’t explain why the shadow moves down over the moon instead of upwards.
I do have a question for the FE community: whats your explanation for tides?
It's supposed to do that gwen
@Mr Orb ☭ The explanation for that is very scientific. I am not your best one to be asking that question. Something about electromagnetic energy.
Electromagnetic energy? On tides?
I learnt something
