Moon light - the word of God vs falsely so called science

[Radagast]

Australia is a myth. People walking upside down, animals with wallets. Who can believe those insane claims

This little fellow is an obvious fake. An egg-laying mammal with a duck's bill? Seriously?

But, as it happens, I'm Australian. I've seen one.

Nah, you and I are just paid shills.

I don't usually participate in these sort of discussions but for those who think the moon is a source of its own light then explain why during a total eclipse of the Sun the sky becomes very dark and resembles a nighttime environment.

What no takers???

Here is some science comparing the the spectra of sunlight and moonlight.

The spectra have been normalised (adjusted) to simulate equal brightness conditions.
Note the similarities in the spectra in particular the Fraunhofer lines.
Paradoxically where the continuum part of the spectra (the jagged lines minus the Fraunhofer lines) diverge the most towards the red end or higher wavelengths is what we would expect for moonlight being reflected sunlight.
This is due to the greater reflectivity of red light off the moon's surface.

Kate, I see you applied a "Funny" award to one of Radagast's posts. You and I both know that the post was not humorous, nor was it meant to be. You appear to be using the award to mock his post. That is against forum rules. Radagast it too much of gentleman to Report the offence. I'm not a gentleman. I ask you, respectfully, to remove the award. Thank you.

And, by the way, did it never occur to you that the same rocket blast blowing up the dust was also blowing it away from the lander?

Hi Ophiolite that’s very ennoble of you that you look apon Radagast with such high regard as a gentlemen. And than to come to his aid because you feel he was being mocked as well, which was never the case. You say that both you and I know that the post wasn’t funny. Really. Ophiolite your not me. And you don’t know what I found funny about the post. No I won’t be removing my funny award any time soon because mocking in a vandictive way was never my intent. And if people get kicked off the site for posting funny’s. Well so be it. As to the rocket blast you mentioned blowing up dust but also blowing it away. Yes I did consider that. That’s why I never mentioned a crater beneath the Luna module for that very reason. But many do believe strongly that there should have been a crater there as well. My issue was always the amount of dust lacking on the pads of the Luna module. You say because the rocket blew it away. That fine I simply disagree. Now I must be back to work.

Indeed.

The Wikipedia article on Moonlight also has a nice long-exposure shot taken at night by moonlight.

I am on my tablet, so copying and pasting is a pain, but they did have dust issues from landing. But a lot of the dust would have been blown away. Again you appear to be thinking of how dust moves in an atmosphere. With no air resistance to slow it down it tends to move in the direction of its imparted motion, until gravity forces it down.

And so out of the ordinary that even samples of dead ones were originally called frauds and fakes.

Indeed. That's why I picked it as an example.

Wonderful. This is exactly what we need to prove that the Moon shines by reflecting sunlight.

But you are kidding about the critters with pockets, aren't you?

 

[46AND2]

Yes. "Big Marsupial" also pitched in on our payouts.

 

[Radagast]

It is true that the platypus has no "pocket." But I'm sure everyone has seen "pockets" in action.

 

[Radagast]

I'm not sure it really helps. The fact that the Moon shines by reflecting sunlight was known for millennia before Fraunhofer, and I don't think that anyone who actually knows what Fraunhofer lines are believes the world is flat anyway.

 

[lasthero]

You want to prove me wrong simple get one of your great scientist to photo the moon out in space (during the day) from earth. Surrounded by the black of space and not the blue of the sky seen during the day.

That should be easy, since they can send back images from billions of miles away. Surely they have the equipment to look past the sky into outer space during our day light hours.

It always amuses me when flat earthers, who typically think all pictures of That show them wrong are faked, turn around and ask for pictures.

Why are you asking for evidence you know good and well you’re not going to accept, even if it does exist?

 

[lasthero]

You have only proved me wrong in your science lies (it is true because science says so) nothing you state is an actual truth of God's creation.

Here, try this.

Wait for a day when the Moon and Sun are up at the same time.

Find a ball.

Hold it up.

Note that the ball and the Moon have the same shadows. They're in the same 'phase'.

Ask yourself: why is that?

Sigh. Okay, if I visit Australia I will take all due cautions. Including carrying an umbrella at all times.

As you should.

No, just kidding. We're much safer than the USA, actually.

Beware of the fauna.
Australia has more species of venomous snakes than any other continent but tourists should be particularly wary of drop bears.

 

[Radagast]

Australia has more species of venomous snakes than any other continent

But they rarely kill people. There are, on average, only about 4 snake bite deaths per year in Australia -- about the same as deaths due to being struck by lightning.

And at least we don't have grizzly bears!

but tourists should be particularly wary of drop bears.

The drop bear, Thylarctos plummetus, is indeed a problem. But I can guarantee you that all tourists who spread vegemite behind their ears will be 100% safe from drop bear attacks.

For the readers at home, I can also guarantee you that not everything that you read on the Internet is true.
