so ur in the clear

2019-05-15 00:40:52 UTC  

more globe magic

2019-05-15 00:41:02 UTC  

That article explains how it was possible

2019-05-15 00:41:09 UTC  

yes i know magic

2019-05-15 00:41:29 UTC  

Atmospheric refraction

2019-05-15 00:41:36 UTC  

yes

2019-05-15 00:41:42 UTC  

not magic

2019-05-15 00:41:55 UTC  

maybe maybe not

2019-05-15 00:42:12 UTC  

lets think about it

2019-05-15 00:42:36 UTC  

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)

2019-05-15 00:42:43 UTC  

You realize that lunar eclipses can only be accurately predicted with a globe model, right?

2019-05-15 00:43:01 UTC  

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 ?

2019-05-15 00:43:02 UTC  

PicklePot I guess

2019-05-15 00:43:35 UTC  

Well, was it a full eclipse?

2019-05-15 00:43:36 UTC  

atmospheric refraction is moving the sun thousands of miles

2019-05-15 00:43:48 UTC  

The light from the sun is being refracted so it looks displaced, although physically it is still behind the moon

2019-05-15 00:43:49 UTC  

magic

2019-05-15 00:44:04 UTC  

the sun is not behind the moon in a lunar eclipse

2019-05-15 00:44:13 UTC  

Light moves differently through gravity and space too

2019-05-15 00:44:19 UTC  

its supposed to be on th e opposite side of earth not behind the moon

2019-05-15 00:44:29 UTC  

jeremy is just going to claim gravity is only a theory

2019-05-15 00:44:29 UTC  

ur getting solar and lunar eclipse mied up

2019-05-15 00:44:32 UTC  

mixed u

2019-05-15 00:44:33 UTC  

up

2019-05-15 00:44:43 UTC  

Yeah my bad

2019-05-15 00:45:01 UTC  

What I said still holds true tho

2019-05-15 00:45:19 UTC  

Light moves differently through an atmosphere than empty space

2019-05-15 00:45:33 UTC  

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

2019-05-15 00:45:34 UTC  

Like my water example I used earlier

2019-05-15 00:45:44 UTC  

jeremy, please read the article

2019-05-15 00:46:00 UTC  

ive heard all the magical globe excuses

2019-05-15 00:46:06 UTC  

The irony.

2019-05-15 00:46:12 UTC  

It doesn't "move" the sun. The light from the sun is displaced by the atmosphere so it seems as if it is shifted.

2019-05-15 00:46:31 UTC  

so i can see the sun and moon in the sky but its not moving the sun ?

2019-05-15 00:46:52 UTC  

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

2019-05-15 00:46:58 UTC  

It's not moving the sun

2019-05-15 00:47:01 UTC  

lol dude u cant see 100 light years

2019-05-15 00:47:08 UTC  

A telescope can though

2019-05-15 00:47:16 UTC  

Which is obviously what I would be talking about

2019-05-15 00:47:18 UTC  

u cant see polaris with the naked eye ?

2019-05-15 00:47:30 UTC  

thats 300 light years supposedly
