The First Family Portrait of Earth and the Moon
On September 18, 1977 — just 13 days after launch — Voyager 1 looked back and captured something no one had ever seen before: Earth and the Moon together in a single frame.
From 11.66 million kilometers (7.25 million miles) away, two slender crescents hung in the blackness — our home and its companion, shown for the first time as complete worlds in the same view. Eastern Asia, the western Pacific, and a slice of the Arctic were visible on Earth. At the moment the picture was taken, the spacecraft was positioned almost directly above Mount Everest, on the night side of the planet.
The Moon was artificially brightened by a factor of three so it wouldn’t be lost next to the much brighter Earth. The final color image was assembled from three separate exposures taken through different filters.
It was the first time humanity saw itself and its Moon this way — a quiet, distant glance homeward long before Voyager 1 would later capture the famous Pale Blue Dot from the edge of the solar system.

Two Telescopes, One Cosmic Wonder: 14 Years Apart! 🌌🔭
The same corner of the universe, revealed in two extraordinary ways.
In October 2008, the Hubble Space Telescope captured the stunning Cosmic Cliffs in NGC 3324, revealing towering clouds of gas and dust.
Then, in July 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope revisited the region in infrared light, uncovering previously hidden young stars and intricate details within the clouds.
Located roughly 7,600 light-years from Earth, these enormous formations are being sculpted by powerful radiation and stellar winds from young, massive stars.
What looks like a mountain range is actually a stellar nursery where new stars are being born.
Same universe. Different wavelengths. A whole new perspective. ✨
Note: This is an artistic recreation inspired by the original telescope observations.

ONE FLIGHT. TWELVE AND A HALF HOURS. FLAT EARTH IS FINISHED. ✈️🌎
Sydney to Santiago. On the globe, a Boeing 787 would need to average about 560 mph. On the flat Earth map, that 787 would need to average nearly 1,300 mph. And that’s impossible.
Watch the comparison and see for yourself.
No physics, no appeals to authority, “trust me, bro”.
No atmosphere haze, no “it goes far away” or “perspective!”
My recent videos have exposed the problems with the sun and moon circling above a disc beneath a dome. Apparently too hard for Flerfs to comprehend, so this time, a single publicly bookable flight does the job.
Anyone can buy a ticket and test it. If flat earthers are serious about investigating, here’s their opportunity. Refusing the test tells you plenty.
Flat Earth is dead. It’s a zombie belief.

Take the 13 consecutive composites.
114, 115, 116, …, 126.
Now assign each one a different prime divisor:
19, 23, 29, 13, 59, 17, 2, 11, 61, 41, 31, 5, 7.
Every prime divides its matching number. None is repeated.
Grimm conjectured that this is always possible for every finite run of consecutive composite integers.
No counterexample is known. The conjecture remains open.

Trin, every surveying manual (for people paid to measure the earth accurately), not to mention every single measurement capable of measuring it, confirms that level is curved and that verticals are not parallel.
You spend your life denying actual measurements and reality itself

The Sun has neighbours, but none are quite like it.
Proxima Centauri, the closest star beyond our solar system, is 4.25 light years away. Sirius B, nearly twice as far, is a white dwarf, the dense remnant of a star that has exhausted its fuel.
Even our nearest stellar neighbourhood holds very different stages of a star’s life.

So let me get this straight, Timmy.
Back when we were banging rocks together, they discovered it was flat, but now that they've spent thousands of years inventing sophisticated tools to measure shit with, suddenly we've lost the ability to.
Make your dumbfuckery make sense. 🤣

A bit of flat earth history for you.
About 3 or 4 years ago, the original @100KryptoKeyz hosted Flat Earth Fridays had a space that went for over 24hrs.
The topic: how can southern flights work on a flat earth.
No viable solution was found after a full day of discussion.
Because either your payed or stupid to constantly keep saying the same thing when there's more examples for the flat earth maps working better for flight routes. I already know how those debates go. Why waste the 100th hour on it.. And no it's admission of defeat where you have to cope about "give me a map" when I'm showing a leveled camera showing no horizon recession. Yet you keep on about the whataboutism of a map haha

Have you watched Alan / Piezo / Toby’s presentation yet?
You’d have to consider that a blow. The material demolishes FE and shows the only viable solution is a globe
Hap Rho retweeted
We had Piezo in Globe Realities space a couple of days ago. He acknowledged it had taken him almost 9 years to realise he was wrong

varies linearly with distance from the pole, but is independent of longitude. Now ask yourself, what geometric object has this property.
I'll give you a hint:
