Original – Astronomy claims contradict common-sense observations of Earth and celestial bodies.
When you gaze at the Sun and Moon, you see two equally-sized, equidistant circles tracing similar paths at comparable speeds around a flat, motionless Earth. The “experts” at NASA, however, assert that your common-sense, everyday observations are completely inaccurate! According to them, the Earth is not flat but a large sphere; not stationary, but spinning at 19 miles per second. They argue that the Sun does not revolve around the Earth as it seems, but rather, the Earth orbits the Sun. Conversely, the Moon does orbit the Earth, but moves from West to East, not East to West as it appears. Furthermore, they claim the Sun is actually 400 times larger than the Moon and 400 times farther away! Despite the clear perception that they are the same size and distance, that the Earth is flat, and that it is stationary, modern astronomy maintains that you are mistaken and naïve, deserving of mockery if you dare to trust your own senses and experiences.
Versus – The rotation of the Earth and the Coriolis effect explain this phenomenon
