Title: NASA Finally Tells The Truth

NASA has released a flat earth model of their own:

Perhaps we can learn something from this?

I have often thought about the idea of a flat earth disk that turns and tilts as would a vinyl record or say a coin spins down to rest like this:

Obviously not a "fast" as a coin, in relation to size that is...

Has anyone else pondered the notion that the disk may have a wobble to it? However "slight" or "significant" the wobble may be.

Did you even read the text you linked to?

"In this animation, the olive-colored square represents the ecliptic plane, while the light blue circle shows the plane of the Moon's orbit."

How many contortions did you have to make to get from a spherically represented earth and moon shown on one particular plane to the entire graphic being representative of a flat earth?

On the assumption that you, whether English is your native language or not, can read and understand English and that you have interpreted this to be NASA providing a flat earth model, I sincerely doubt that you or any others who think like you can learn anything from this.

How on earth do you get "flat earth model" out of that! It is simply a visualisation of the shadow cast by the moon that leads to a solar eclipse! I hope this shows you what the objects in the picture are:

The larger sphere is the earth and smaller the moon. The sun is located a long, long way out to the left.
The video is intended to show how the moon's shadow moves as the moon orbits the earth. Since the moon's orbit is inclined 5.2° to the earth's orbit around the sun (the ecliptic) a solar eclipse can occur only rarely.

If you think that shows a flat earth model, then your understanding of the Globe Earth is zilch.
Maybe you should learn a bit about what you are trying to debunk before you get much more egg on you face!

This is displays a very similar thought process that led to the"Kansas is Flat as a Pancake" being offered as evidence in the FES wiki.
