Did you use a theodolite

2019-05-14 04:51:54 UTC  

So does the moon change size?

2019-05-14 04:52:09 UTC  

Theodolites are only good up to 600 yards

2019-05-14 04:52:16 UTC  

Short distances

2019-05-14 04:52:22 UTC  

Lol theodolites don't measure distance

2019-05-14 04:52:22 UTC  

U can also just use them EYEBALLS U have and can tell it does change size

2019-05-14 04:52:30 UTC  

The measure angle

2019-05-14 04:52:41 UTC  

Ya that's angle not distance

2019-05-14 04:52:42 UTC  

Up to 600 yards

2019-05-14 04:52:46 UTC  

Wrong

2019-05-14 04:52:52 UTC  

That's another instrument

2019-05-14 04:52:58 UTC  

Ok show me the specs

2019-05-14 04:53:02 UTC  

Waiting

2019-05-14 04:53:08 UTC  

K. Look up any sextant

2019-05-14 04:53:28 UTC  

They dont measure angular size

2019-05-14 04:53:29 UTC  

What is the limit on those, they're used to measure Polaris above the horizon, how?

2019-05-14 04:53:33 UTC  

Of the moon

2019-05-14 04:53:44 UTC  

A sextant measures angles.

2019-05-14 04:53:49 UTC  

Angles

2019-05-14 04:53:52 UTC  

Not size

2019-05-14 04:53:52 UTC  

Yep

2019-05-14 04:53:57 UTC  

Omg ...

2019-05-14 04:54:19 UTC  

The diff between to angles top and bottom of an object , is the angular size

2019-05-14 04:54:26 UTC  

How did you measure angular size

2019-05-14 04:54:35 UTC  

Bc i used a scientific instrument

2019-05-14 04:54:59 UTC  

What is the size change?

2019-05-14 04:55:09 UTC  

So you never measured it?

2019-05-14 04:55:21 UTC  

What is the size change?

2019-05-14 04:55:24 UTC  

It's size changes very little, lemme look at my numbers

2019-05-14 04:55:31 UTC  

You said it doesnt change

2019-05-14 04:55:39 UTC  

Now it changes?

2019-05-14 04:55:47 UTC  

Have a good night

2019-05-14 04:55:52 UTC  

Doesn't change as if it's going away from you

2019-05-14 04:56:15 UTC

2019-05-14 04:56:49 UTC  

Lol he gave up

2019-05-14 04:57:26 UTC  

👌🏻

2019-05-14 04:58:25 UTC  

Epic

2019-05-14 04:58:28 UTC  

I. A single night, the moons angular size did not change any measure able amount

2019-05-14 04:58:48 UTC  

My sextant precision is 1 arcminute

2019-05-14 04:59:13 UTC  

So that's negligible, and eliminates any chance that the moon is close and small

2019-05-14 04:59:39 UTC  

It's certainly not setting due to a large change in distt
