Daytime Full Moon Proves the Heliocentric Model is False

The heliocentric model requires that “[t]he Moon does not have its own light but shines because its surface reflects the Sun’s rays.” Furthermore, the heliocentric model requires that “a Full Moon is when the Sun and the Moon are aligned on opposite sides of Earth.” That means that “[t]he Full Moon is when the Sun and the Moon are aligned on opposite sides of Earth, and 100% of the Moon’s face is illuminated by the Sun.”

With those necessary heliocentric premises in mind, it is impossible for a full moon to be seen during the daytime if the heliocentric model is true. During the daytime, the sun will be shining on the earth, with the moon between the earth and the sun. The sunlit part of the moon would, necessarily, be facing away from the earth. Under the heliocentric model, the full moon should only be visible on the dark (night) side of the earth.

Is a full moon, in fact, seen during the daytime? Yes. It happens pretty often. For example, the Time and Date calculator reveals that on April 16, 2022, at 2:55 p.m. EDT (Eastern Daylight Savings Time) there was a full moon. Of course, 2:55 p.m. would be in the middle of the day. Under the heliocentric model, the sun illuminated that side of the supposed globular earth.

Indeed, according to the heliocentric model, the full moon should be eclipsed by the shadow of the earth at night. In fact, there should be a solar eclipse approximately every 28 days and also a lunar eclipse every 28 days. But that does not happen. The heliocentric priests have a ready answer for that problem with their model. They claim that the moon is 5 degrees offset from a perfect ecliptic orbit in relation to the sun. The scientists at the Time and Date website explain:

Why don’t we see a lunar eclipse every month if a Full Moon is needed for a total lunar eclipse?

This is because the plane of the Moon’s orbital path around Earth is inclined at an angle of 5° to Earth’s orbital plane around the Sun, also known as the ecliptic. The points where the two orbital planes meet are called lunar nodes. Lunar eclipses occur when a Full Moon happens near a lunar node.

While that 5-degree offset sophistry is enough to pull the wool over the eyes of the gullible, uninquisitive public regarding the absence of lunar and solar eclipses, it does not explain how there can be a full moon during the daytime. Recall that according to the heliocentric model, “it is officially Full Moon when the Moon is aligned with the Sun and Earth while at the opposite end of its orbit, on the night side of Earth.”

5-Degree Offset From Ecliptic Does Not Explain Daytime Full Moon

Assume, as alleged by heliocentrists, that the earth has a radius of 3,959 miles and the moon is 238,900 miles from earth. With the moon being at 5 degrees off the ecliptic of the sun and earth, it would mean that the moon is 20,822 miles above (or below) the ecliptic. Thus it would clear the earth’s shadow by 16,863 miles (20,822 – 3,959 = 16,863). That would put the moon above (or below) the shadow of the earth and thus heliocentrists would have an explanation for there not being both a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse every 28 days. But even with that 5-degree offset assumption, the heliocentric model cannot produce a daytime full moon. Since we see daytime full moons with regularity, the heliocentric model must be false.

If that is the case, there can never be a full moon seen during the daytime. The 5-degree offset from the ecliptic does not change that fact. When you look at the diagram posted on Time and Date, you can clearly see that even with the 5-degree offset, under the heliocentric model, there should never be a daytime full moon. But daytime full moons happen with regularity. The frequently occurring phenomenon of a daytime full moon completely impeaches the heliocentric model. As explained in my books, The Greatest Lie on Earth and The Sphere of Influence, the earth is, in fact, flat and stationary. A daytime full moon, with the moon being the source of its own light is perfectly explained by the reality of the flat, stationary earth revealed in the Holy Bible.

  1. Thanks Ed, this is more proof there are 2 kinds of people, the sheep vs the goats, or the wheat vs the tares, or the elect vs the reprobates, or the children of God vs the children of Satan. A tree is known by its fruits. There are good trees and there are bad trees. The truth and correct faith is a fruit of the Spirit of God, manifested in the sheep/wheat/elect/children of God/good trees. Errors, lies, are fruits of the goats/tares/reprobates/children of Satan/bad trees.

  2. Full moon time (2:55 pm) on the chart is the moment when the moon got into that position, not when the moon was visible, which would be in the evening. Also, whether you use heliocentric or earth-centric model, the result is the same.

    • To say when the moon is full at during mid-day is somehow not important because the moon might not be visible is misleading. For example, if there are clouds the full moon will not be visible. The Time and Date chart indicates that sunset was at 8:07 p.m. in NY on April 16, 2022. Moonrise was at 7:42 p.m. in NY on April 16th. There was a full moon on April 16th. That would put the full moon visible in the sky during the daytime on April 16th.

  3. I decided this article is bs when it claimed you cannot have a lit up full moon during the daytime if the heliocentric model is correct. It does not take a genius to realize that statement is false. The daylight full moon is lit up by sunlight reflected back at the moon off of the Earth’s oceans.

    • You claim: “The daylight full moon is lit up by sunlight reflected back at the moon off of the Earth’s oceans.” That is hilarious. The lengths that with which people will go to keep their make-believe fantasy alive is just breathtaking.

      The problem with your explanation is that it does not explain how moonlight can be cold when it is supposed to be reflecting the hot light from the sun.

      Material in moonlight is colder than material shaded from the moonlight. Depending on the material, the difference in temperature ranged from approximately 2̊F to approximately 6̊F colder for material in moonlight than for material shaded from the moonlight. Of course, as expected, the very opposite was the case for material in sunlight versus material shaded from the sun.

  4. I’d like Mr. Hendrie to explain the phases of the Moon in a flat-earth versus helio context. Granted, the Moon appears to shine on its own and evidently is a lot closer than we’re told. However, why and how do we get half Moon, crescent Moon etc.? Just curious. Thanks!
