2. The sun and moon both exhibit a limb effect.

This suggests that they are spherical... Watching the eclipse through specially-filtered binoculars yesterday, I was struck by a sense of depth, an awareness of the moon's shape.

The flat-earther predictions are wrong, so they deflect. Of course.

I just love how they ALWAYS claim that anything they disagree with, anything that contradicts their (conspiracy) theory, is a vast conspiracy.

So the evidence of actual people who've suffered eye damage, and the testimony of ophthalmologists about how this damage occurred, is of no value to the flat earthers. Instead they label it "fake news."

As Galileo once scribbled in the margins of a book on geocentrism: "Idiot! Dunce! Eunuch!"
