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

2019-12-12 23:24:16 UTC  

I’ve seen different people say different things

2019-12-12 23:24:17 UTC  

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

2019-12-12 23:24:22 UTC  

Yea

2019-12-12 23:24:37 UTC  

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

2019-12-12 23:24:44 UTC  

Why not?

2019-12-12 23:24:45 UTC  

For the exact reason

2019-12-12 23:24:47 UTC  

Well

2019-12-12 23:24:58 UTC  

People would be seeing it from different angles

2019-12-12 23:25:05 UTC  

They do

2019-12-12 23:25:11 UTC  

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
