Wondering how many Flat Earthers have reached out to the thousands of members of the Astronomical League over the years, offering to help them "re-measure" the distance to the sun.

Here's my postmortem of the celestial theodolite. In short, you have to account for refraction when dealing with occultations of stars by objects in our atmosphere, cel theo breaks down at high alt targets at high distance and the distances used the globe.

Earth is passing through Halley’s Comet debris for the Orionids peak.
How do people explain annual, mathematically predictable meteor showers hitting our upper atmosphere on a flat, stationary disk without admitting space and orbital paths are real? 🙂

Did NASA really 'lose' the tech to go to the Moon? Of course not.
The tech wasn't lost, it was retired. Why would anyone rebuild 1960s analog hardware when you can engineer modern digital systems? Upgrading takes time, not magic. 🧵
Did humanity 'lose the tech' to build CRT TVs, floppy disks, or the ocean liners of the 1930s? No. The factories closed, the supply chains evolved, and the world moved on to new tech.

Real-time images received from #Elektro-L5 Geostationary satellite today, around 6 AM IST using Parabolic dish, #LHCP1P69G Patch Antenna + #SKYSAW receiver.
Call space videos "CGI studio".
Refuse to look at the ISS with your own eyes.
Demand videos.
Drop antisemitic slurs.
Block when called out.
A textbook breakdown by @yahweh83enigma when confronted with basic reality. Total cowardice 🏆👋
For those who claim to search for the truth and look down on others as gullible, this is pretty ironic.
Quantum physics has tested the motion of our planet. Using neutron interferometry, physicists split a beam of neutrons into two paths to measure quantum wave interference. The result? Neutrons directly detect Earth's rotation and gravity gradient.
