The Moon Thread: Photos and Comments. [HOAX]

For attempting to pass off a photo of a set-piece from a TV show as an actual moon photo, this thread has been moved to hoax.

Additionally, this is a returning previously banned member with a history of attempting to pass off mundane objects in photos as something spectacular.

Sure every obit is close to a circle, but the moons orbit varies by about 38,000 km from perigee to apogee. So that seems like quite a bit compared to the roundness of the Earth.

The Earth is about 12,700 km at the diameter, so half would be 6,350 km aka the radius.

Let's say you looked at it at the peak of closeness and then as it was about to set, at the very, very max it would be a difference of about 6,350 km if everything was perfect. That's a lot less than the 38,000 km the moon varies in orbit.

The moon increases and decreases in size because of the variation in orbit.

Look at the pictures and see the variation.

Op.. you may find this little website interesting.

Please... in the spirit of denying ignorance, can you please just accept that you've been duped on the 'moonbase' image. Carrying on this charade is unbecoming.

In some private messages, the thread author was apparently still insisting their photos and (way-off) analysis was real, even in the face of the evidence presented in this thread. As a result, we can only assume the intent is to deceive, and an account-ban has been applied.
