>>13688419I don't have any conspiracies to give, but I have a diagram to challenge the flat earth model, using the moon. Apologies for shitty diagram making.
Only one side of the moon is ever visible from earth, and moon will appear lower in the night sky the further north or south from the equator you go. This much is verifiable just from going out and having a look yourself.
The problem comes with trying to map this onto a flat earth.
In the first diagram, the moon is close to the flat earth, which lets it appear close to the horizon, but means two observers on other sides of the earth would see vastly different sides of the moon.
In the second, the moon is far away from the flat earth (I didn't want to try making this to scale for the sake of image resolution but you get the idea.) which allows everyone to see the same side, but causes the moon to appear in the same spot in the sky for each observer.
The third diagram shows observers viewing the moon from a round earth. Due to the shape of the earth the moon is close to the horizon, but both observers are still seeing the same side of the moon, matching both observations.
