Why is the shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse always round no matter where the eclipse takes place?
Quoting: Man_Discarded Why is there not a camera on the ISS that we can zoom into earth and watch something live from space? You would say "fake" immediately. Not if I could hold a sign up and read it from the live feed. With the technology NASA has they should be able to tell me my eye color, right? The ISS orbits at an average height of 400 km. Then there is something that's called "Dawes' limit". Let's assume, you put a 3m x 3m white sheet on the ground with a black 1m x 1m square in the middle. To resolve this black square, that makes just 0.52 seconds of arc, you need a lens with a diameter of at least 225 mm. Something like this: [ link to www.meade.com] Of course they would take a 80 kg telescope up there to prove some flat earth nutjobs wrong. //sarcasm And of course you would claim, the photo was take from an aircraft and not the ISS. .
