Celestial Navigation - How can it work on a flat earth?
« on: August 23, 2017, 02:38:12 PM »
If I'm in Maine and my friend is in Mexico how come we don't get the same sextant angle on the same star at the same time over the ocean on this earth?  In fact there an infinite number of angles depending on our latitude.  Almost if the earth is round?

In Flat Earth Theory, the stars are simply much closer than they are in globularist thought.
That's how far the horizon is, not how far you can see.
