Card just curious

What do you believe about the moon's light source ?
That it reflects the sun's light like the GE model (based on the 5 deg elliptical orbit model you proposed) or that it gives off its own light?

It is a reflection of the sun, but probably from a luminent substance.

Is that supposed to be evidence?

Looks more like an artists rendition of someones opinion.

You can look up data in the American ephemeris, they have been publishing Astronomical data for over a century.

I am no asserting the earth is a globe.

I am asserting that you cannot prove it is not a globe.

I can prove you cannot prove it is not a globe, because you have not proved it isn't.

So I win?

Some say it is its own light source, but just not sold on that idea.

Either way i dont see it as that impotant.

How is the shape of the earth important?

-e

Why is the source of the light from the moon less important than the shape of the earth?
