how can I calculate the distance at which the sun filled my entire field of view?
Is flat earth still a thing? I haven’t been hearing as much about it lately but maybe people just stopped caring.
I do wonder how long a movement that can be easily disproven by literally anyone can sustain itself. I mean sure, the true believers will stay but if anyone can go out and confirm the roundness of the earth themselves it makes it a bit tough to keep people who are on the fence…
They moved on to qanon. That's not even a joke.
You haven't heard as much from them because they are being drowned out by MAGAs. Though, TBF, the overlap between flat earthers and MAGAs is pretty large.
All the hype was subsumed by people following cults that actually have an impact on our daily lives.
I think the vast majority of promoters online were trolls, and the vast majority of followers were morons
Fun fact as a game dev I had to write this code a couple of times where I project the 3d stuff into 2d like that so when you tap with your finger or click I can do proper distance checks in 2d (what's closest to the finger?), even though it feels and acts 3d.
Great, now I'm hungry for car : /
Dude thought he was in orthographic view.
I never remember which one is the burger eclipse and which the car eclipse
For those who don't know, Martian solar eclipses suck compared to ours. The near equal relative size of the sun and moon to Earth is why we get such awesome eclipses.
Perks of having a planet-sized object slam into your planet during its Hadean Eon.
You can't fool me, those are just the cookie monster's eyes
Since our moon is moving away from us we’ll have these sorts of eclipses in the future. The fact that we’re living at a time when they’re the same apparent size is pretty amazing.
Imagine eclipses in the very early ages of life on land. It would be like Pitch Black.
Phobos is just not very aesthetically constructed.
Especially after we sent our space marines there to kill all those demons.
Only one will actually get the job done, though.
Space potato.
OK but it’s pretty cool that the moon is just far enough and just the right size relative to Earth and the sun to give us all those rad eclipses.
EDIT: Also I tested and this burger is the same size as a Canadian one dollar coin.
Because the moon is moving away very slowly there will be a last total solar eclipse at some point. We're lucky to have such good ones currently
I read somewhere that this phenomenon is so unlikely that if we ever need to represent our planet in an intergalactic context, the solar eclipse would be a good candidate for a symbol to put on a flag [citation needed]
I’m down and anyone who isn’t hasn’t seen a total eclipse yet. I saw my first one last year and by the time it finally came up I was starting to be a little fed up of hearing about it and slightly skeptical about how big of a deal it was. Then the day came, it got dark in a way my senses were not ready for and finally Totality happened, I saw the diamond ring with my own eyes and I lost my marbles at how fucking deeply existential this moment felt. 10/10 would watch again
Sorry, but a similar design is already taken by the planet where everyone's obsessed with The Ring
