A few fun questions for you first-principles-thinking, luna-lovin' knuckleheads out there πŸ‘‡

We know and can verify with our own eyes that clouds (or geoengineered filth as seen in this picture) float above us at around 1-3 miles max.

NASA tells us that the moon is 240,000 miles away.

But here's the strange thing...

If the moon was really a QUARTER MILLION miles away...shouldn't the light being projected onto the clouds illuminate all of them evenly?

239,999 miles is a lot of space between the moon and the cloud layer for the light to spread out across the whole sky, right?

...But this isn't what we see. Rather, it's always just a tiny ring of clouds illuminated around the moon. The rest are dark...even pitch black if you can squint and just barely see the clouds just a mile or two away.

What does this tell us, logically?

Could the fact that the moon only illuminates a tiny ring of clouds right in front of it (which again, are only a few miles away max) indicate that the moon is in fact MUCH CLOSER to us than NASA has claimed?

Think about it.

What it tells me logically is that I am not super man with vision that can see millions of miles away. πŸ˜† The moon is a local luminary. There will never be a moon base. πŸ˜‚

I would like a peek at the clouds from above.

I think its because you're looking at a reflection. The moon doesn't produce light, it reflects it from the sun. Think about looking at a driveway or mailbox reflector in your headlights in the fog. The reflector doesn't light up anything you just see the reflection.

It's not always that way. It depends on the clouds and how they're layered, as well as the perspective of the viewed. Sometimes the light is perceived more diffused, sometimes not

Look at a light bulb. The room gets lit up but the bulb looks much brighter than the rest of room.

The parallel nature of light rays from a distant source, the geometry of observation, and how light interacts with clouds and the atmosphere.

Just because you don't fully understand the science behind it, doesn't make it fake.

Oh boy.
