TOPIC: The size of the Earth from the Moon

The gang of trolls has buried all the responses so here they are on page 1 and easy to find...

Here is the Moon taken with a wide angled lens - slightly wider angle than the Zeiss Biogon lens used on the Apollo HEDC camera:

Here is a like for like comparison of the two side by side:

Here is a link to the full raw scan...

It represents the width of 47 degrees of FOV....as taken from the Zeiss specification page...
Divide the total width pixels 4175 by 47 and you get pixels per degree = 88.83
Draw a tight circle around the Earth. It is 176 pixels wide.

This makes the width around about 1.98 degrees. Now according to Stellarium it should be around about 1.88 degrees.

Factor in a tiny bit of blooming of a few pixels at the edges of the Earth which is totally obvious on a bright object like the Earth(you can see it is over exposed by the lack of definition) and that 0.1 of a degree becomes nada.

Goodness me, how brilliant is that?

Makes a change from mens bottoms I suppose.

Troll Hunter.
And you're the constipated little bear who's trying to stay one step ahead but keeps tripping over his grossly oversized shoes.
You cunt.

What does you fucking weirdo? You being a bit thick, moronically obsessed, persistently Canesten Man?

You're fucking mental. The major indicator being that you don't even see how fucking mental you are. What are you even doing?

Seriously shithead? What are you actually trying to achieve?

Annoy me? Nope...you only made one post that did that.
Wound me? Make me feel small? Would it help if I told I that I couldn't give the tiniest shite what you write? You are like a piece of poo on my shoe, you have even less consequence. All you are doing is exercising my neck as I shake my head at your fucking weirdness.

Take a breath....hold....slowly exhale...repeat a few times. Hit the back button. Logoff. Walk away and get a fucking life.

You kunt.
