      Just to point out that, despite what a lot of people strongly believe, the Moon does not move in the sky at the same speed as the Sun. So they both can be visible at once, or neither.

        Well that solar eclipse I just saw would be very hard to explain if they did 🤣

        Guess that could be just the government 🤣

          Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if some people just came out and said they don’t believe in eclipses.

          But the number of people that believe you can’t see the Moon during the day is enormous.

      How do they explain airplanes taking the same time to go around a northern fixed-latitude ring and a southern fixed-latitude ring?

        They have two excuses.

        1. Wind is pushing the planes/boats faster on the south side so they can cover more distance faster.

        2. They (IE: NASA or the jews or whoever “they” are today) are lying to you on how long it takes to travel on the south side. It’s a cover up, man.
