2nd night of moon/planet/stargazing with my son, through the @ExploreSci telescope we got from @CloudBreakOptic. I figured out how to use the phone adapter this time, but didn't think to save in RAW. 😥 ... Tweaked the contrast & such with the @pixlr app.

Those bars are clearly behind that car's hood.

@sly_sparkane In my experience, this issue is meant to confuse, muddy & draw out an argument.

When I dig down to their actual argument, it's that radio can't reach 240,000 miles, because their own cell reception can be spotty just a few miles from a cell tower.

[Jared the Skeptic @jaredvc]

@Lenny_knowsalot @TheGlobeIsDead Which photo? What exactly is your claim about it that I should debunk?

[Jared the Skeptic @jaredvc]

@Lenny_knowsalot @TheGlobeIsDead Haze. Thin clouds.

It was foggy on my commute a couple days ago. I was able to see the sun through the fog. I did not think it was between me and the fog. Would you have?

You have no argument. You cannot show me where you think the clouds go behind the moon or sun.

[Jared the Skeptic @jaredvc]

@Lenny_knowsalot @TheGlobeIsDead All I'm doing is asking u to clearly point out where the clouds are that u say are behind the sun or moon, and to state whether u do or do not understand that bright objects can shine through thin haze.

I'm not playing games. Just trying to get honest, clear answers out of u.

@SunIsLife77 What?... Weather changed?!

[Jared the Skeptic @jaredvc]

@aten_ichnaten If that were true, you'd have spent the time it took you to create or find this meme to research how they accomplished that.

[Jared the Skeptic @jaredvc]

@Heavyweapon_003 @_free_f0rever_ Fitting, since it's a parody account.

[Jared the Skeptic @jaredvc]

@Lenny_knowsalot @TheGlobeIsDead You have no argument.

[Jared the Skeptic @jaredvc]

@Lenny_knowsalot @TheGlobeIsDead No. No distinct clouds. I see haze around it because it is far beyond the haze shining through it.

[Jared the Skeptic @jaredvc]

@Lenny_knowsalot @TheGlobeIsDead What clouds?... Outline them clearly in one or both of these images.

[Jared the Skeptic @jaredvc]

@Lenny_knowsalot @TheGlobeIsDead I keep answering that I see haze.

YOU are the one who refuses to answer whether you understand or not that low haze exists or that bright objects can shine through thin haze.

[Jared the Skeptic @jaredvc]

@Lenny_knowsalot @TheGlobeIsDead Why lie here, Lenny?

I asked this question. You refused to answer it and instead pivoted and asked me a question, expecting me to show you more courtesy than you showed me.

[Jared the Skeptic @jaredvc]

@Lenny_knowsalot @TheGlobeIsDead I see no defined clouds. I see haze. I see a bright object through the haze, and I understand that especially in an over exposed photo, a bright object can render thin haze transparent.

How do you not understand these concepts?

[Jared the Skeptic @jaredvc]

@Lenny_knowsalot @TheGlobeIsDead Point to the clouds behind it, or better yet, outline them.

[Jared the Skeptic @jaredvc]

@Lenny_knowsalot @TheGlobeIsDead Do you or do you not understand that a layer of haze can sometimes form low to the ground?

[Jared the Skeptic @jaredvc]

@Lenny_knowsalot @TheGlobeIsDead Do you or do you not understand that bright objects can shine through thin haze?

[Jared the Skeptic @jaredvc]

@Lenny_knowsalot @TheGlobeIsDead Shining through haze. That haze is not the horizon.

[Jared the Skeptic @jaredvc]

@Lenny_knowsalot @TheGlobeIsDead A screenshot from the video you said shows clouds behind the sun. Not another meme with the sun shining through more thin clouds near the horizon... I can't fathom how people actually think they are seeing the sun below the horizon. 🤦🏻
