if you saw only a picture of the moon, how could you tell where the sun was when the picture was taken? Thanks for the help

I can't even tell if this is bait.

excellent question, anon.

Use image analysis software to map the luminance levels which should result in a point of highest luminance. This point is perpindicular to the path towards the sun.

false, gravity bends light so it would not be perpendicular, it would be on a curved path from the sun to the moon.
>>

Gravity isn't causing light to bend, rather the light is travelling on a straight path through curved space, and so it appears to bend.

Fucking schoolchildren.

>>7767437
You don't?
>>
>>7767439
Nah. I calculate the state of the universe from initial conditions and find the points where the distance between me and starbucks is equal to 0

>>7767443
Utter gibberish.

>>7766665
if you look carefully, there are shadows on the bottom side of the pic

There's nothing about that sentence that doesn't make sense except that for the sake of a joke I assumed the universe is deterministic and I'm able to know the initial conditions

The fact that you made that joke, the fact that it makes no sense, the fact that you had to explain it, and the fact that your explanation doesn't explain your joke, sums you up very well.
>>
Only first figured out one or two years ago that the shadow on the moon isn't the earth's but caused by the moon itself.
It was stupid and amazing.
>>
>>7767488

I'm a different anon, and I'm not seeing what the problem is. It's not a very funny joke but it is pretty straightforward...
>>
>>7767611
It makes more sense when you consider what it's a response to.
Not like most of the pseudointellectual loser aspies on this board are capable of understanding context
