Eh?

2019-12-12 23:25:59 UTC  

Do they?

2019-12-12 23:26:09 UTC  

Imagine drawing a moon on your ceiling.

Then imagine looking at the drawing from different points in the room

2019-12-12 23:26:27 UTC  

It would look squashed if I stood far away from it

2019-12-12 23:26:32 UTC  

Like an oval

2019-12-12 23:26:38 UTC  

But the moon is always a sphere

2019-12-12 23:26:41 UTC  

or a circle

2019-12-12 23:27:15 UTC  

Well its technically the shape of a round shield or dinner plate turned upside down

2019-12-12 23:27:24 UTC  

We assume its a sphere

2019-12-12 23:27:41 UTC  

It would have to be a sphere

2019-12-12 23:27:49 UTC  

Why

2019-12-12 23:27:53 UTC  

In order to be viewed as circular from all angles

2019-12-12 23:27:56 UTC  

Wouldn’t it?

2019-12-12 23:28:04 UTC  

Umm

2019-12-12 23:28:34 UTC  

I guess it depends. Technically only certain places can see it at once

2019-12-12 23:28:38 UTC  

Yes

2019-12-12 23:28:42 UTC  

We live on a flat plain

2019-12-12 23:28:43 UTC  

Not the whole earth

2019-12-12 23:28:49 UTC  

But all of those places see a round moon

2019-12-12 23:28:59 UTC  

What does that even mean

2019-12-12 23:29:11 UTC  

If the moon were a flat disc, some people would see it as a squashed oval

2019-12-12 23:29:21 UTC  

They see a round moon at different times.

2019-12-12 23:29:30 UTC  

The people looking at it from the Side

2019-12-12 23:29:35 UTC  

No...

2019-12-12 23:29:51 UTC  

The moon is a transparent luminary and isn't round at all.

2019-12-12 23:29:55 UTC  

I dont think it works like that

2019-12-12 23:30:02 UTC  

It looks pretty round to me

2019-12-12 23:30:12 UTC  

nope not at all

2019-12-12 23:30:32 UTC  

It’s literally a circle?

2019-12-12 23:30:38 UTC  

I’m confused here

2019-12-12 23:30:48 UTC  

still doesn't mean were you live is round just because it is one dimension in visual

2019-12-12 23:31:18 UTC  

never been to the moon but both feet firmly planted on this plain

2019-12-12 23:31:36 UTC  

So is the moon a flat disc?

2019-12-12 23:32:54 UTC  

The moon is a luminary body on an elliptical within our atmosphere. It can not tell you that you live on a spinning spherical object with water strapped to the outside of it by a selective never proven theory called grabbity.

2019-12-12 23:33:30 UTC  

So...

2019-12-12 23:33:42 UTC  

Why does everyone see the same side of the moon

2019-12-12 23:34:08 UTC  

If it were close to the ground and above a flat plain, people would see different sides of it

2019-12-12 23:34:13 UTC  

Right?

2019-12-12 23:34:30 UTC  

because of a little lie they call a phenomena because it breaks all the rules called tidal looking which is a lie.

2019-12-12 23:34:46 UTC  

...

2019-12-12 23:34:57 UTC  

How can a sphere look the same from all angles
