the earth moves round the moon. it is right or wrong? please answer me.

Says Derek,
People gave more thought to "environmental issues", when people realized, from NASA pictures, just how small Earth really was, a little dot in a vast space.
You wonder why people gave thought to that -- and NOT that God is great in having given us so nice a place in vast space to acknowledge Him and worship Him! After all, should we take all this goodness for granted and live our lives as ingrates? -
Was hoping for the moon cycle diagram. Not to advocate for something but to point out how it does not fit observation. Many think FE is the big dealio but I don't know about that. Because of those funny FE's though, I have re questioned the basics and have stunned myself with some awkward discoveries. I do not advocate FE as I have seen Saturn and rings in 3D from my own yard with nice lens and mirror telescope. I do however call BS on moon/earth cycle from what we are told to what I see as well as earth/sun cycle vs observation. What I really find interesting is how this (as far as I know) is only a question now and not from enthusiasts. My Saturn glimpse was from an older gent of about 60 and a huge sky/star fan. He knew all the big stars, constellations, clusters and stuff you could see and when to see them. What I find interesting is how these basics have gone unchallenged for hundreds of years. There own diagrahms disprove what they say is and/or happens. I know...Im a fool or just don't get it....But I do get it...and I don't need FE to be the answer...but answers that make sense and fit observation.

@ 4:02 if he is correct on scale as he says then something has to be said for the size and detail we see with our eyes.
-
20 seconds in and I just gotta note....even the unlit portion of the moon can be seen at night unlike the unlit portion of the earth here.
-
This might be dumb question, but regarding the actual distance of sun to earth, why does the sun look so much bigger and a lot closer? 93 million miles? It seems the distance or the size of the sun is wrong.
-
In the first photo you show... shouldn't the earth look much larger from the moon's prospective? That looks like the size of the moon from earth. But earth is 50 times that of the moon! That view of earth from the moon should be enormous!

The Book of Enoch book iii 72:37 And neither does it diminish in respect to its brightness nor take rest but continue to run day and night. As for the intensity of its light, it is sevenfold brighter than that of the moon; nevertheless, the sun and the moon are equal in regard to their respective sizes.

Can anyone tell me who was the first person to discover the earth?
-
What a bunch of garbage.

IT'S FAKE

nice

Thanks Derek for taking the time to create this instructional video. Just going over this with my 6 year old and found this helpful both visually and with grasping the relative sizes and distances between the Earth, moon and sun.
Thanks again. -
MOre than fake

And this makes the eclipse seem even more amazing

If we can have a full moon when the sun is shining on the moon through earths atmosphere. That means the sun light is shining all the way through earths atmosphere and landing on the moon. So why isn't the sky day light facing north for people on the night time side of the earth. We should not be able to see stars facing north it should be sunny because no earth blocking sunup that high in air. And we shouldn't see the northern stars because of the sun shinning all the way through the earths atmosphere. Please explain :)

If the sizes of the earth and moon were true as you say it is, tell me
why isn't the picture taken from the moon isn't like 3d? The Earth should be
so big to the observer on the moon as if he or she has on 3d glasses. One
more thing I want to point out is, when there is a so called lunar
eclipse, how is that we can still see the moon when earth passes between
the sun and the moon? The earth's shadow should completely block the
sun's light from hitting the moon. Don't say light bends, earth is not a
prism that bends light. The sun is not that big and far away either! If it were,
tell me how can an object the size of the moon block out all of it's
light? Give me a break! The sun and the moon are above and Earth(DRY
LAND) is below as the bible stated. There is no "The Earth" on Earth(DRY
LAND) The Earth becomes an object like the sun and the moon. /god made
DRY LAND appear in the WATERS below and called it EARTH, not the earth.

The earth is the center and stationary! Everything else is complete brainwash-pseudoscience!

In this illustration the moon moves west to east that is inaccurate. The moon moves east to west just like the sun. So there is something foolish I wish you could explain it.
