Are there any FEers on this site who are able to explain in their own words how a lunar eclipse is explained on the Flat Earth? I am very interested in having an actual discussion about this.
This has been explained on another thread. But if no FE shows up to answer, I will venture that this is the FE usual answer.
There is a mysterious, disc shaped , round , called the "dark object" or "shadow object", which comes between the earth and the moon and blots out the moon and causes the eclipse.
The "dark object" is otherwise invisible and lost in the glare of the sun. It seems to be like some gigantic black ping pong paddle about 5 or 10 miles in diameter.
According to FE , both the sun and the moon are 32 miles in diameter and 3000 miles above the earth, just below the ice dome above tbe earth.
There seems to be a disagreement amongst FE's as to how the moon gets it illumination. One group says the moon is "self-illuminated" by some kind of "bio-illumenescent creatures called 'moonshrimp' or 'moonshramp' and the phases of the moon are caused by these creatures migrating back and forth across the moon." If this is not correct, I hope some FE will supply the right information.
I would also like to see the flat earth explain the horizon in their own words.
I'm just an ignorant RE and paraphrasing Will Rogers, " All I know is what I read (on the FES website) and that's my excuse for ignorance." LOL.
