One of the most remarkable sunrises I’ve ever experienced. The sun just appeared out of nowhere. And yes, there’s no physical horizon.

Rather than ask people to go through the history of the many ingenious ways we’ve devised to measure the distance to the sun on social media, why don’t you just look them up? Study them. Ask questions about them if they fail to convince you. That would be the adult thing to do.

You missed the main point of the thread that unfolded over the last ~12 hours. For years, flat-Earth advocates have claimed that the Airy experiment and the Michelson-Morley experiment were both designed to measure Earth's velocity relative to the Sun, the orbital speed that Bradley had already measured empirically as about 30 km/s. That flat-Earth advocates' claim is false. Airy's actual goal was to test Klinkerfues's theory of the aether. In fact, on the title page of their own paper, Michelson and Morley stated that Airy's experiment had failed to support that theory. The real purpose of the Michelson-Morley experiment was to detect the effects of the aether by measuring Earth's velocity relative to the aether—using Earth's known orbital speed of about 30 km/s around the Sun as the relative motion through that stationary medium. In this thread, gleem, Grok, I, and several others have clearly shown the following: 1️⃣ Earth is a spinning globe that orbits the Sun. 2️⃣ Stellar aberration provides direct proof that Earth is moving through space at roughly 30 km/s. 3️⃣ Neither Airy nor Michelson-Morley ever doubted that 30 km/s orbital speed. Their experiments were exclusively designed to look for how the aether would affect light as Earth moved through the aether at the 30km/s velocity. Airy's and Michelson-Morley's experiments have now been completely removed from the list of arguments flat-Earthers can reasonably cite. Those experiments never supported flat-Earth claims.

How many miles away is the celestial sphere from the ground?

We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran. Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. go.nasa.gov/41tbrpq

The signal still travels like light... the amplitude is the different hertz

what we see in the sky is nothing but a giant mirror. Anyone who remembers the real sun that was yellow can remember what happened when you took a mirror and reflected the sun onto something, the reflection turned white. and that is exactly what they do x.com/Thorsons1/status/17864…
