The wiki additionally states that "there is also a possibility that the Shadow Object is a known celestial body which orbits the sun but more study would be needed to track the positions of Mercury, Venus and the sun's asteroid satellites and correlate them with the equations for the lunar eclipse before any conclusion could be drawn."Īstronomers have already charted the orbits of all the planets for the foreseeable future, and none of them will come in between Earth and the moon anytime soon (or ever).Ĭlearly The Flat Earth Society's explanation of the lunar eclipse is flat-out wrong.
The Flat Earth Society did not provide the mathematical calculations by which it arrived at this number, which seems more likely to have been "borrowed" from real astronomers' calculations than to have been derived from scratch. Coincidentally, in reality, this is the angle at which the moon's orbit is tilted with respect to Earth's orbit.
If nothing else, The Flat Earth Wiki does give a description of the mysterious proposed object's orbit, stating that it's tilted about 5.15 degrees to the sun's orbital plane.
