And I'm telling you that you're misinterpreting the data. Dave, consider what I said again. The dark side of the moon is too dark to be seen through the atmosphere. But the light side is brighter than the atmosphere, so it's visible through the atmosphere.

Dave, That's a really lousy argument, and you know it, especially considering what I said earlier about why only part of the moon is visible, while the rest is not.

I explained why the moon is visible during the daytime, Dave, if you would actually pay attention to what I write.

Dave, I just told you why the dark side of the moon (which is still there, it's not missing) looks blue. Please read it. Dave, I guarantee that if you were to take a telescope and look at the moon closely, you might be able to see the sillouette of the rest of the moon during any of the phases...

That's because the moon is not inside the atmosphere. It's about 238,900 miles away, whereas the "edge" of the earth's atmosphere is about 62 miles above the surface of the earth (also known as the Kármán line). You've basically got it backwards, the sky isn't seen through the moon, the moon is...

Dave, if you were to look at a picture of a half moon and a picture of a full moon, and compare the two, you would be able to see that the moon hasn't "disappeared" or that half the moon is missing, it's just partially in shadow... Notice the circular Mare in the top right of each image...

Dave, I came across an old video I had seen a number of years back. I hope it gives you a sense of scale for things, even though it's 40 years out of date. https://youtu.be/0fKBhvDjuy0

Updated my previous post.

This IS the circle of the earth, Dave. A sphere looks like a circle from any direction. Dave, Here's a challenge for you: Open your browser and navigate to Google Earth. Pan around for a bit and tell me if the shape of the earth changes from a circle. Now go to your kitchen and take out a...

Then show that that assertion is correct here, Dave, and not with some video you found off of YouTube. It's time you did some of the math and learned a bit.

Does the earth give light? Based on your logic, it should. How about you build a scale model (just use a globe and a baseball and a flashlight) and see for yourself, like RD just said.

Here it is.

Dave posted a video several pages back from a balloon flight that used a GoPro camera to shoot footage of it's flight. I asked him about this very thing, how if it being a fisheye lens would distort the image, that if the camera were swinging evenly, then the every time the center of the video...

You apparently don't agree. If you did, you wouldn't say that gravity is made up, because we have observed and measured gravity for quite a long time now. Low powered cameras have taken pictures of the earth from orbit and in transit to the moon and even from the moon itself. They clearly show...

And of course, I've forgotten what it was I wanted to talk about, but I'm sure I'll think of it eventually.

Bump for Dave

Dave, how many times do we have to show you that gravity does exist, and it's measurable. We can measure the force of gravity to levels Newton could never have dreamed of. By the way, have we mentioned that Newton was a creationist Christian? Dave, gravity only pulls (as far as we can tell...

And #2693 and #2694

I'm pretty sure that the flights and flight paths that Sir Knight is talking about does not have any stop overs. Which brings us back to his questions:

Oh, and let's not forget the fact that not only does the moon rotate as fast as it orbits the earth, it oscillates too.
