Re: 7 things nobody tells you about stargazing

There's really
no point poring over light pollution maps or carefully choosing a Dark
Sky Place if you ignore the phases of the moon, because if it's bright,
it will overwhelm all but the brightest stars.

That is one of the marks of the sheer ignorance of the moon landing deniers. 
On Earth the eye can't see stars around the moon, their absence from photos 
taken on the brilliantly sunlit moon doesn't disprove them.

Another is non-parallel shadows. On Earth parallel lines like the sides of a 
road appear to converge in the distance. Seeing that in shadows in moon 
landing photos doesn't prove them fake.

The astronauts wore life support gear that doubled their weight, I've 
examined it. How high can you jump on Earth while carrying another person? 
High jump records are set in gym clothes, not deep diving gear. Lunar 
astronauts jumped up over 3 feet from a standing start, few can match that 
on Earth.
