Planets look cool in Star Wars

Never been to one

Never will

You are on a planet

Am I?

How can you be sure

Oh yeah movies

there is something called earth

the planet we live on

I will agree it is some sort of earth, most likely not a blue marble

I’ve never seeeeen cuuurrrvvviiittttuuuurrreeee!!!!!! You?

You can see planets darkos

Telescope

I’ve seen Jupiter

It’s quite lovely

You can even see the stripes

On a good day

That’s lovely. Have you ever seen curvature ?

You mean in Jupiter

?

It is a circle shape

And the stripes visible wrap around it implying a spherical shape

If i painted a frisbee like a soccer ball and sunk it to the bottom of a swimming pool, would you know its a frisbee? @Triscuit

Fair point

Just a question i ask myself

Citizen, what are your thoughts on the nature of the moon?

I’ve seen different people say different things

Seems to be a large sphere but we only see mostly one side

Yea

But a large sphere wouldn’t match up with flat earth

Why not?

For the exact reason

Well

People would be seeing it from different angles

They do

Eh?

Do they?

Imagine drawing a moon on your ceiling.

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

It would look squashed if I stood far away from it

Like an oval

But the moon is always a sphere
