so ur in the clear
more globe magic
That article explains how it was possible
yes i know magic
Atmospheric refraction
yes
not magic
maybe maybe not
lets think about it
Atmospheric refraction is like when you put a stick in water and it looks like it's in a different place in the water, right? (If you get what I mean)
You realize that lunar eclipses can only be accurately predicted with a globe model, right?
the sun moon and earth are supposed to be in a straight line for a lunar eclipse but we can see the sun and moon in the sky so atmospheric refraction is taking the sun 90 degrees out of where it really is ?
PicklePot I guess
Well, was it a full eclipse?
atmospheric refraction is moving the sun thousands of miles
The light from the sun is being refracted so it looks displaced, although physically it is still behind the moon
magic
the sun is not behind the moon in a lunar eclipse
Light moves differently through gravity and space too
its supposed to be on th e opposite side of earth not behind the moon
ur getting solar and lunar eclipse mied up
mixed u
up
Yeah my bad
What I said still holds true tho
Light moves differently through an atmosphere than empty space
so u have the sun the earth then the moon in a straight line but atmospheric refraction makes the sun move 90 degrees at least which is thoussnds of miles it sounds magical
Like my water example I used earlier
jeremy, please read the article
ive heard all the magical globe excuses
The irony.
It doesn't "move" the sun. The light from the sun is displaced by the atmosphere so it seems as if it is shifted.
so i can see the sun and moon in the sky but its not moving the sun ?
It's like how when we look at things 100 light years away, we are actually seeing what they looked like in the past due to how fast light moves
It's not moving the sun
lol dude u cant see 100 light years
A telescope can though
Which is obviously what I would be talking about
u cant see polaris with the naked eye ?
thats 300 light years supposedly
