Meanwhile everybody stared at the eclipse on the ISS and NASA, a fellow astronaut could sneakly take a picture of the Earth!

If the sun is really 93 million miles away and the moon was really 138,000 miles away and sunlight was parallel like Eratosthenes claimed then the shadow of the moon should be bigger than the moon itself which they claim is 2000 miles, and not the 70-200 mile shadow we see. So are we expected to believe the rays of the sun are converging and focusing the shadow of the moon now, when for millennia they thought what Mr Beta said was 100% proof? How convenient they completely change their model to fit the evidence and everyone falls for it. Also the question really becomes if we are seeing a true "reality" or just a perspective? Well if those bodies were really the distance they say and we are seeing reality - then we should have only seen one eclipse, yet the total ellipse happened 20-30 times across America proving it is only a local perspective. So thanks Nasa for smashing your own model.

Interesting, can you expand your thoughts on that theory?

So are you claiming that seeing the image of a spinning ball 1,000,000 times did not make you believe it - so how do you explain this ?

You telling me that cartoon is real - that Greenland is almost the same size as Africa?

greenland is nowhere near the same size as africa.

"In particular, the southern hemisphere appears much smaller than it is in reality. For instance, in the Mercator projection (below), north America looks at least as big, if not slightly larger, than Africa. And Greenland also looks of comparable size. ... Greenland, meanwhile, is 1/14th the size of the continent."

greenland 836,330 sq m

africa 11,608,000 sq m
was easy to look up
"One way in which we imagine Africa is through world maps. But as far back as Ptolemy, in the 2nd Century Roman empire, cartographers have known that drawing an accurate map of the world is basically impossible. The world is spherical, a map is flat, and there is no obvious way to get around this.

Try to flatten out, for example, the hollow peel of an orange and two things become quickly apparent: 1) there are an infinite number of ways to do that, and 2) none is particularly satisfactory, let alone a neat rectangle."
