Another look at the moon landing.

Using a sexton they could calculate this figure.

Is called a sextant and it determines a latitude. It does not measure distance.

If a ship is in a minute of arc this represents a nautical mile and if the semi diameter be 16 miles the diameter is of course 32 miles and as measured by the sextant the suns diameter is 32 minutes of arc that is 32 minutes in diameter.

Measuring with sextants and calculating with plain trigonometry both the sun and the moon figure to be only about 32 miles in diameter and approximately 3,000 miles away.

@Apple Sky is confused by perspective and its affect on parallel lines.

From a celestial star not TO a celestial star. Keep reading the c&p you posted (and didn’t cite) so you can learn how it works.

Nah. The math doesn’t work. I’m an engineer, I know.

Not a very good one then.

Ouch. I guess you are down to insults now. Not very Christian.

Rude.

But it's not 3,000 miles away. it's 93,000,000.

Sorry please forgive me, that was very rude of me.

Can you prove otherwise, without the aid of a text book or some scientist just spouting it ?

Oh yes - I went and measured it last week.

Can you prove anything you say without YouTube, Dean Odel/Eric Dubay/Rob Skiba?

Sorry please forgive me, that was very rude of me.

Love you anyway

I just did.

 

[Apple Sky]

Thank you, love you too

How did you "prove" it?

Info on the sextant.

Info on the sextant.

Which is wrong. That is not what a sextant measures.

 

[Strong in Him]

Info on the sextant.

Which, a) you've been told is wrong, b) I don't believe they were your own words and c) you are so clued up on, you called it a sexton.

So I spelled it wrong, what's your problem ?
