From the angle you drew on paper, the lines are straight. From the perspective of standing *on* the ball, it would look the same as in the photos.

You're drawing the star trails from a different perspective than the actual photos

Quick question: @Citizen Z you said that the stars follow paths similar to that of a magnetic field. Slight problem with that, a flat Earth can't have two magnetic poles that would result in a field of that shape, because South has to always point outwards. Since the south pole would be stretched out over the ice wall, kind of like a ring magnet, you wouldn't get the patterns seen above, because there's no pole for the stars to move around.

yeh, same reason why a southern polar star is impossible on a flat Earth yet it exists

Think of a bar magnet

Yes, I am thinking of a bar magnet. The problem is that it doesn't work. A bar magnet has two distinct poles, around which the field can form. A flat Earth does not have two distinct poles around which that field can form.

Yes we do. The north and south

And where is the South Pole located on the Flat Earth map?

Who said I had a map

We dont know exactly how it could work. We just know something ain't right. I was asked for an explanation of how the stars could work. I think I've provided an alternative. I wont be able to answer every question obviously. I just find it interesting how it looks

And uh, the star movements don't match Earth's magnetic field... They match the field of a magnet if that magnet was up in the sky, causing the stars to move around it.

I also appreciate how interesting it looks though.

Right

Think of a bar magnet in the sky

hello yes I wish to debate

hello yes debate?

yeah but i might take a few to respond

goodbye no agreement

not sure if anyone else will join but they are welcome

earth is round

no, it cant be due to sight distances.

wdym sight distances

the fact if the earth was round we would be able to see as far

as we do

so you're saying the earth is round

round like a pizza with stuffed crust

uh

ok so i'm just going to assume there was a typo and you meant we wouldn't

no tyop

sight is infinite unless something is obstructing your view

wrong

how is it wrong

easy

WHAT CAUSES GREAT VISIBILITY?

no obstructions

causes great visibility

I was gonna start a vaccine debate but guess not.

as long as the light can reach your eye

you can see it
