Idk

they can record the sun live

93 million mile away

but not earth

or give us a real photo

or any other planet

dont you find that feckin suspicious

@Metallica lmao your new status is even better than the purge one

i think at one time they had about 6 cameras recording the sun

:))

is earth or planets not important

They have several on earth, but the objective isn't to take a full shot of the earth - it's to get *maximum possible resolution* of the earth. And to do that, you need tight shots, composited together.

but if they have got cameras that far into space ,why not turn them around ,you would see all of earth

@ElectroquasistaticMagnetoManexplain concave earth

not again

lol

i already did this sorry

Scroll up @Nicolaus Copernicus

Correct me if I’m wrong but cant they measure how far away the sun is by how fast light travels. It takes around 8 mins and 20 seconds for the suns light to travel to earth.

so they say

Yes, frosty. Spectroscopy. They can determine chemical make-ups as well.

@Metallica thats going off pre assumed maths

i.e the suns distance

why you think they told you its 93 million miles away

Because maths

no ,its to make the model work

I think the sun's distance was originally assumed through parallax and comparing the phases of Venus.

but it still dont

waant it first assumed by aristhostanese

wrong spelling

with shadows and sticks

i cant remember

but its not 93 million miles away

or wasnt that trying to prove earth being spherical

i forgot now

yeah, it was a pretty rough experiment, but it used triangulation! Cassini got a much closer approximation.

first of all ...light dont travel to us in a straight line

from the sun

so its all bs

whatchu mean?

like curving from the sun before it gets here?
