  • Here's a longer version which I have not had a chance to view yet.


    .
    At minute 22 they say "It's impossible to re-orientate the animation for a stationary sun."
    .
    Not true.
    .
    To depict a stationary sun, the camera would have to be located above the sun while turning on its own axis so as to follow the revolution of the earth around the sun, and in so doing the viewer would forget how fast the earth should be revolving around the sun. Otherwise (if the size of the earth and moon were reduced so that they have room to cross the screen from beginning of eclipse to the end of eclipse) the earth would be too small in the screen for you to see the eclipse shadow on the earth. So there could be two versions, one showing orientation and the other showing up-close detail. That's over the scope of the video being seen here.
    .
    The reason a geocentric outlook works so well in the animations is due to our ability to understand what's being shown from a standpoint of a stationary earth, since that is where we live and the earth's vantage point is what we live with every day.
    .
    When a rocket is being launched from earth or landed on earth, it is standard practice to presume the earth is stationary, which JPL people don't like to talk about. All the space industry turns geocentric when it comes to launching and landing rockets.

    You want garbage? How's this for garbage!

    Meteors are angels falling from heaven, because the Bible says so!
    .
    (In the video the ignorant author calls them "meteorites" even though he posts explanations that say they're meteors.)

    Volcanoes have a tendency to spew lava balls into the air, that will travel and land with a big bang? Right? Would that leave evidence behind? Recently I discovered that some are saying that the Mountains, not all, but some are huge tree bases. compared to our normal tree bases. They show photo's...goodness could it be so? Giants , would need giant trees and so on..and they say there are/were Giants back in the day.  We have Fallen Angels, Demons, Aliens,Creatures that shouldn't exist, Ghosts, Spirits, Witches, Gods, Weather that is telling us something is amiss.  Global Warming? War? Starvation, Murder, decease, Fluoride in our water, food & medication? Politicians, Popes, United Nations!!! Our animals, wild/domesticated getting sick or dying by the hundreds, even thousands. Floods??? Drought?? We need to be able to continue growing food to live, we need clean water to survive. Think about it people!! Are we or are we not in trouble???? ALL OF US! They want to change how we use money, they want us to have shit in our bodies so they can monitor us? The most disappointing thing that I see is how we treat each other, and how little we matter. Yet We are the most amazing creation, We can love, we can feel, we can recall what we feel, we have the ability to be the most beautiful of all Gods Creation! The Earth is Flat! God is Real! Jesus is Coming and he is our Saviour!! Pray for each other, love each other, be kind to each other, protect our children together. We are Family, we are kindness, warmth & compassion. We are a smile, a laugh, we are tears, of joy or sadness! All of us Feel these things, share these feelings, be they good or bad! God will listen when you need to talk. And when your eyes & ears are Open and your mind is no longer sleeping, you will hear him, via your friends, your family, a book you read or a movie you watch. He also loves using nature as a way of communication.

    What makes it an asteroid? 
    How does an asteroid disappear when a meteor shows up, or is it a meteorite?
    .
    Do you find meteors or asteroids lying on the ground or can you see meteorites flying through the sky?
