200 Proofs that Eric Dubay is a liar and an idiot

"Aquarius and Libra can be seen from 65 degrees North  to 90 degrees South! The constellation Virgo is visible from  80 degrees North down to 80 degrees South, and Orion can  be seen from 85 degrees North all the way to 75 degrees  South latitude! These are all only possible because the  “hemispheres” are not spheres at all but concentric circles of  latitude extending outwards from the central North Pole with  the stars rotating over and around. " Source:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declination Dubay does not understand basic trigonometry Dubay is making the same spurious point as  proof 103   and proof 104 with different constellations.  The reasons why the proof is nonsense remains the same. You will always be able to see a constellation at some point in the year if the difference between its declination (angle above the equator) and the observer’s latitude is not more than 90 degrees. The differ...

"The constellation Vulpecula can be seen from 90  degrees North latitude, all the way to 55 degrees South  latitude. Taurus, Pisces and Leo can be seen from 90  degrees North all the way to 65 degrees South. An observer  on a ball-Earth, regardless of any tilt or inclination, should  not logically be able to see this far. " Source:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declination Dubay does not understand basic trigonometry Dubay is making the same spurious point as proof 103 with different constellations.  The reasons why the proof is nonsense remains the same. You will always be able to see a constellation at some point in the year if the difference between its declination (angle above the equator) and the observer’s latitude is not more than 90 degrees. a. Vulpecula: Declination +25° which is 90° from an observer at 65° south b. Taurus: Declination +15° which is 80° from an observer at 65° south c. ...

"There are several constellations which can be seen from far greater distances over the face of the Earth than should be possible if the world were a rotating, revolving, wobbling ball. For instance, Ursa Major, very close to Polaris, can be seen from 90 degrees North latitude (the North Pole) all the way down to 30 degrees South latitude. For this to be possible on a ball-Earth the Southern observers would have to be seeing through hundreds or thousands of miles of bulging Earth to the Northern sky." Source:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declination Dubay does not understand basic trigonometry As I recall my kids had this nailed at age 13, so it should not be too complicated even for Eric Dubay if he puts his mind to it.  You will always be able to see a constellation at some point in the year if the difference between its declination (angle above the equator) and the observer’s latitude is not more than 90 degrees. Ursa Major has a declination of +55.38°....

"If Earth were a ball, the Southern Cross and other Southern constellations would all be visible at the same time from every longitude on the same latitude as is the case in the North with Polaris and its surrounding constellations.  Ursa Major/Minor and many others can be seen from every Northern meridian simultaneously whereas in the South, constellations like the Southern Cross cannot. This proves the Southern hemisphere is not “turned under” as in the ball-Earth model, but simply stretching further outwards away from the Northern center-point as in the flat Earth model." More lies from Dubay The whole purpose of this "proof" is to establish that the observations of the stars / constellations in the southern hemisphere are fundamentally different from those in the northern hemisphere. This is very important for flat earthers because any other observation would be impossible on a flat Earth.  Their solution is simply to blatantly make up observations that...

"Viewed from a ball-Earth, Polaris, situated directly over the North Pole, should not be visible anywhere in the Southern hemisphere. For Polaris to be seen from the Southern hemisphere of a globular Earth, the observer would have to be somehow looking “through the globe,” and miles of land and sea would have to be transparent. Polaris can be seen, however, up to over 20 degrees South latitude." This is a blatant and shameless lie Polaris cannot be seen south of the equator.  Dubay has once again been caught in another blatant and shameless lie. Dubay follows a pattern.  Wherever there is easily observable proof that the Earth is not flat Dubay tries to discredit it by denying the observation … which of course he must in order to keep up the lie. Here is a star trail image facing towards Polaris taken from the equator.  As you can see it is already obscured by the terrain on the horizon, and any further south it would sink further below the horizon.
