Also binary stars can be seen with amateur telescopes
I'm sorry, we're talking about astronomy aren't we?
i dont see how lights moving in the sky prove mass is attracted to mass
jeremy.. they're not light sources
?
Planets are not light sources.
debateable
people think the moon is a light source
Shadows can't be left on light sources
ok
A lunar eclipse is the Earth's shadow on the moon
maybe
u know their have been lunar eclipses where the sun and moon were both visible in the sky during the eclipse though right
don't know anything about that
may i have a source?
well u should look into that before u start telling me what makes the shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse
do a google search prolly i dont have that source off hand
I've got an article here
I'm only finding one thing about it
its happened a lot throughout history
dont worry they have a magical excuse for it
Ahh
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
