I'm not a photographer

2019-12-04 13:19:32 UTC  

Hardly know how to use a propper camera, I don't like them at all

2019-12-04 13:19:57 UTC  

I dont have space either. I'm filling it up with YT videos that I'm downloading prior to the purge

2019-12-04 13:20:05 UTC  

in fact I will need to go buy another drive soon

2019-12-04 13:20:10 UTC  

But for this, I'm just doing basic pictures so that we can then compare size

2019-12-04 13:20:40 UTC  

tbh it's probably going to be difficult. even globers will say you need a solar filter or it's useless

2019-12-04 13:20:46 UTC  

also...you will need to do this regularly over a year

2019-12-04 13:20:52 UTC  

to make it meaningful....

2019-12-04 13:20:58 UTC  

And I'll try to take 3 (sun rising, above head, sun setting) exact picture each season so we can compare location

2019-12-04 13:21:37 UTC  

you certainly can. But I won't be able to draw many conclusions probably as I don't have a map I would trust

2019-12-04 13:21:39 UTC  

Nothing fancy

2019-12-04 13:22:02 UTC  

But size comparison is the big thing, that u shouldn't need anything special

2019-12-04 13:22:09 UTC  

ah ok

2019-12-04 13:22:42 UTC  

I'll probably scrap the exact locatiom, but just take notes about exactly where is see the sun set when standing at a certain location

2019-12-04 13:48:41 UTC  

Hmmm, trying to figure out how to work something into my life, sadly I might only be able to take sunset pictures until summer but that's all I should need from winter

2019-12-04 13:49:23 UTC  

Because even just that will show how the sun doesn't change size, thus, breaks how perspective works

2019-12-04 13:53:43 UTC  

The sun does change size

2019-12-04 13:53:57 UTC  

If it was actually 93 million miles away it wouldn't

2019-12-04 13:54:22 UTC  

Even during the day. From sunrise to zenith to sunset. It changes slightly

2019-12-04 13:56:15 UTC  

Well, if the sun was truly over mexico, I wouldn't be able to see it. Also, as many people have admitted, atmosphere conditions can effect a lot

2019-12-04 13:57:37 UTC  

Sure

2019-12-04 13:58:36 UTC  

"Sure"? Try seeing the rocky mountains from an elevated point in Kentucky (elevated to see above the buildings) you cant

2019-12-04 13:59:41 UTC  

So why can you see the sun in Mexico from kentucky not only that but without it seeming to be smaller then normal? That sort of distance would make the sun seem much smaller

2019-12-04 14:54:28 UTC  

My advice....look down, not up

2019-12-04 14:54:48 UTC  

the sun is complicated

2019-12-04 14:55:48 UTC  

look more towards curvature measurements, laser tests, long distance photography, horizon at high altitudes etc..

2019-12-04 14:57:32 UTC  

I'm still looking for a scientific publication in a peer-reviewed journal showing the direct measurement of Earth's curvature. would be so great to read the Materials & Methods section for how they did it. then perhaps we can replicate and see what results we get

2019-12-04 15:26:00 UTC  

facts dont require science!

2019-12-04 15:27:51 UTC  

i dont know the quote

2019-12-04 15:28:41 UTC  

Awe

2019-12-04 15:36:03 UTC  

Maybe the sun is complicated for people trying to make it that way so that they can ignore it

2019-12-04 15:38:04 UTC  

it's for the people actually doing experiments to understand their world...vs the sheeple who just believe everything they are told

2019-12-04 15:38:08 UTC  

as I always say...

2019-12-04 15:38:19 UTC  

flat earthers are the scientists. heliocentrists the religous ones.

2019-12-04 15:38:23 UTC  

the irony

2019-12-04 15:43:30 UTC  

Yeah that’s totally it

2019-12-04 15:43:41 UTC  

Because you’ve shared a lot of science here

2019-12-04 15:44:38 UTC  

You saying a peer reviewed journal needs a materials and methods section show how much of a legitimate scientist you are

2019-12-04 15:48:42 UTC  

How many publications do you have in a peer reviewed journal?

2019-12-04 15:48:56 UTC  

Title
