On March 7th, 1794, four astronomers (3 in Norwich, 1 in London) wrote in “The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Astronomical Society” that they “saw a star in the dark part of the moon, which had not then attained the first quadrature and from the representations which are given the star must have appeared very far advanced upon the disc.” Sir James South of the Royal Observatory in Kensington wrote in a letter to the Times newspaper April 7, 1848, that, “On the 15th of March, 1848, when the moon was seven and a half days old, I never saw her unillumined disc so beautifully.

Maskelyne thought a singular coincidence, but which would now be acknowledged as the cause of the phenomenon.” 2 On the same evening there was an occultation of Aldebaran, which Dr. Three persons in Norwich, and one in London, saw a star on the evening of March 7th, 1794, in the dark part of the moon, which had not then attained the first quadrature and from the representations which are given the star must have appeared very far advanced upon the disc. In the “Philosophical Transactions” for 1794 it is stated:– The cause of this phenomenon is involved in impenetrable mystery.” 1 I have seen a similar apparent projection several times. The star, instead of disappearing the moment the moon’s edge came in contact with it, apparently glided on the moon’s dark face, as if it had been seen through a transparent moon or, as if a star were between me and the moon. I saw that its occultation by the moon was inevitable. On my first looking into the telescope a star of about the 7th magnitude was some minutes of a degree distant from the moon’s dark limb.

“On the 15th of March, 1848, when the moon was seven and a half days old, I never saw her unillumined disc so beautifully. Here is another video of stars through the Moon (start at 3:05) This is irrefutable and clearly shows the lies of 500 years we’ve been told sold. Anyone can do this for themselves and post online.)įurther DIY proof that the moon is translucent and likely generates and emanates its own light source. Various chapters concern motion of the heavenly bodies, sunrises, sunsets, the tidal movements, and distances of the Sun and Moon from Earth.(~Ed, this video was taken down because an amateur astronomer, using a 17X magnification lens, was showing how the stars were very clearly visible through the dark, transparent side of a half moon. Most of these are framed with illustrations and diagrams, that the reader understands Rowbotham's notions. Experiments and demonstrations are conducted in support of the Earth being flat, with the astronomical bodies situated above, rather than around it. In 1881 the author expanded and published this book, in part to meet public and scientific scrutiny. Rowbotham was already an inventor and author, and over time theories of Zetetic Astronomy - in which the Earth is flat - became popular. This book began as a pamphlet in the 1840s, explaining the theory with a few sketches alongside. This premium edition contains all of Rowbotham's original graphs, charts and drawings.
