Stars, Galaxies, Planets: how do we know what they are?

I mostly loved this post for the plum. That’s a fantastic universe that you can hold in the palm of your hand!

The rest of why I loved this is that talking about this subject is something that could use some of that “normalization” I hear about. It is not radical or foolish in anyway to question the “authorities” who are telling stories about the heavens. History has demonstrated that those claiming answers to these questions have used this as a means to maintain power over the population. Experts can be very useful with technical details on lots of subjects, but we’re not even talking about “rocket science” here… what’s beyond the limits of the only physical reality that any of us have ever known is a profound inquiry so it is best to be sure that the methods taken to satisfy it are rigorous and objective.

Put another way, and more specific to this post, it’s one thing to assume (though I wouldn’t) that we have a working understanding of our “solar system”, complete with fairly high quality visual depictions, photo or otherwise. We have an alleged record of man or machine at least passing through it. But to hold other claims with similar certainty, like the distance to Polaris, black holes, faraway planets, dark matter, etc, etc, well, hopefully you’re satisfied (or even familiar with!) with the margins of error when projecting outcomes through an ideology that’s built on a multitude of assumptions. Otherwise maybe someday when you get close enough to a “star”, you’ll be shocked to find it’s just a shiny fruit staring back at you.

Dave Weiss has some footage of a balloon with camera that was recently released. When the balloon rose above 50,000 feet, all stars disappeared completely. Wouldn't you think they should be bigger and brighter as the the balloon escaped the atmosphere? Kind of rings bells with all the "astronauts" not being able to see any stars, eh?

We don't know "what" these stars are, but we DO KNOW they aren't what we're told. This much is certain.

Ooooh...this is a subject I love. And let me say up front that I believe (know) that NASA is nothing but a lie machine. So let me get down to proving it.
An object in motion tends to stay in motion, in the same direction and speed, unless affected by a force.
When we look up at the moon, we know that the moon is considered to be in an orbit because it keeps coming back around. The moon wants to continue straight off into space but something is affecting it to keep looping around. That something is a force which we call gravity. We could use the formula, gravity equals momentum, momentum being mass times speed or velocity, so we have gravity equals mass times velocity in order to describe an orbit. If we add to the momentum, such as more speed, the object breaks loose from gravity and wanders off into space. If we add more gravity, such as the object coming closer to the Earth, it falls out of orbit and crashes to the Earth.
So we know that the Earth's gravity reaches out to the moon, at roughly 239,000 miles. On a side note, its pretty impressive that gravity manages to swing that big ball around when we can overcome gravity just by hopping with our legs and we're a lot closer to the Earth, but don't pay any attention to that.
Earth's Busy Neighborhood
So let's take a look at The Earth's Busy Neighborhood website. I used to visit this site fairly frequently until I noticed that whenever something falls out of the sky, its never listed on here during its approach. But this site gets its information from all the authorities and you can explore it, look at the Traffic Report and such. Lets scroll down to the bar graph which is right below where it says Footnotes. What we're looking for in particular is the SOI or Sphere Of Influence which is located about one and a half notches to the right of the moon.
What is a sphere of influence? It is the distance from the Earth, in all directions, at which point the gravity of the Earth begins to affect a passing body, such as a meteor, asteroid or comet, if one ever came that close. Any object coming within that distance will have its trajectory changed by encountering the Earth's gravity. It is listed at 2.41 times the LD or Lunar Distance, which is roughly 576,000 miles from the Earth.
That's pretty interesting.
So when we look at any object in orbit around the Earth, we know that it is being affected by the Earth's gravity, including, lets say, the Space Station (ISS), which Google says is orbiting at 254 miles up and moving at 4.76 miles per second. We know gravity is pulling on the Space Station because otherwise, at that speed, it would just shoot off into space rather than circling back around.
So when we know that the ISS is affected by gravity and the moon is affected by gravity, and according to the official narrative the Earth's gravity reaches out to 2.41 LD, what are we to think when we are told that the "astronauts" are in "zero gee" or no gravity. They float objects through the air on their Space Station and do flips for us, none of which could possibly be faked by special effects or CGI. They are determined to make sure we are aware that they are in zero gravity, at only 254 miles up. So how can the Earth's gravity affect an object moving past at almost 600,000 miles away but it doesn't affect an object floating inside the ISS at 254 miles away?
How could this be?
I'll tell you... Anti-gravity paint! The ISS is painted with anti-gravity paint so that while gravity is hanging on to the outside of the station and preventing it from shooting off into space at 17,400 mph, it does not intrude inside the station and interfere with their stunts and tricks!
Believe that?
Just kidding, of course. In reality they are not in zero gee, if they are up there. In fact, if gravity reaches out to 2.41 LD, no man or woman has ever been in zero gravity in the history of mankind. Ponder the size of this lie for a moment. This lie goes all the way back to the Gemini missions when they first began to insist that they were experiencing no gravity when they were in orbit, with gravity pulling them in a circle around the Earth. Once a lie is told they must continue to tell it and support it, regardless of how ridiculous it becomes. The question is, why is this lie so important that they would feel the need to demonstrate it (faking it) constantly rather than just letting it quietly die?
Some people might consider what passengers experience on the "Vomit Comet" as zero gee,NASA's Vomit Comet ,but I consider that "free fall" which is when one falls so fast one can no longer feel the pull of gravity.
I have a part two, but I'll give you guys a chance to come back at me first.

Everytime I try to examine the Hubble objectively, some problem comes about. Here is one article that is a red flag: "Hubble Finds Smallest Kuiper Belt Object Ever Seen". The object is 3200 feet, 4.2 billion miles away. First red flag, is a photoshop photo of a rock. the article states,

"NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has discovered the smallest object ever seen in visible light in the Kuiper Belt, a vast ring of icy debris that is encircling the outer rim of the solar system just beyond Neptune.
The needle-in-a-haystack object found by Hubble is only 3,200 feet across and a whopping 4.2 billion miles away. The smallest Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) seen previously in reflected light is roughly 30 miles across, or 50 times larger.
This is the first observational evidence for a population of comet-sized bodies in the Kuiper Belt that are being ground down through collisions. The Kuiper Belt is therefore collisionally evolving, meaning that the region's icy content has been modified over the past 4.5 billion years. The object detected by Hubble is so faint - at 35th magnitude -- it is 100 times dimmer than what the Hubble can see directly. So then how did the space telescope uncover such a small body?
In a paper published in the December 17th issue of the journal Nature, Hilke Schlichting of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif., and her collaborators are reporting that the telltale signature of the small vagabond was extracted from Hubble's pointing data, not by direct imaging."

So, the second red flag is the contradiction, where the first sentence states that it was "seen". And almost at the end of the article, at the end of the almost run on sentence, is the contradiction. They didn't see anything.

The next issue I have is technical, and I usually have nothing to do with math, but this seems intuitive, so I will give it a go.
Angular resolution for a telescope is a limit at resolving two objects. Above, they found this object in a sea of floating debris, so they needed to resolve it. Angular resolution = diameter (km) / distance (km) (I used the online calculator) = 8.2678e-9 . After all, it is very very far away so this is a small angular resolution. The angular resolution of the Hubble provided is 0.04 arcseconds, and after dividing by 3600 seconds, you get 1.1e-5. So, the Telescope's resolution is nowhere close that it needs to be to resolve it.

Hubble has not been used to photograph Earth, which is strange, but not strange if it is a PSYOP. NASA has a photograph of Pluto" which potentially can be made with MS pain, and not even a photoshop subscription.
The distance is 4,800,000,000 km and the diameter is 2390 km from the above link.
The angular size 2.8529 e-6. I do not think that this camera could generate such a nice crisp image, but again, I have no evidence to back up that claim, other than the Earth is supposedly spinning 1000mph, orbiting 66,600 mph, and expanding in the galaxy.

That picture is so crisp, it is unbelievable. Even if my math is off, or I ignored all of the fancy techniques they purportedly used, all of the fundamentals are glossed over.

As an aside, I came across the angular resolution, when I heard that the approximately 90 meter long object was visible with the naked eye, and it is 220 miles away. If you visualize the space station along its longest diameter that figure is less than half, making it even more unlikely. Oh, and it is traveling 17,500 mph! I was at the target range and I found 2100 mph rifle bullets difficult to see.

I don’t think any of the space fraud motivation conversation has an easy answer. Sure is easier to poke holes in the narrative, as you aptly do in your post and in countless other examples that are mostly handwaved away (though the true believers will write their own fan fiction to fix continuity). Edit: actually, in your own post, I think you provide an out for the contradiction in gravity, the argument would go that the ISS is actually constantly falling (that’s essentially what “orbit” is) so it isn’t that they’ve escaped earth gravity. “Zero-g” is just lazy shorthand (or so someone who is obviously much smarter than me would say!)

So much of this is a confluence of events seeming to span centuries. The shift, in the Western world at least, from classical religion to “science” which then became an institute unto itself, separated from its principles (not unlike say the Catholic Church). There’s a distinct nationalist agenda too, especially at the start of the so-called space race. Distract, confuse, and overstate your capabilities to your enemy. And now, it’s at the point that if the US was to say that China was lying, for example, they’re just risking drawing more attention to their own deception. It’s also important to figure out who the “they” in your question is… if “they” profit financially from “space exploration” directly, then their motive is clear and maybe that’s all it takes to keep it going in the end.

However, in a certain way, I sort of feel like it is sort of dying though. No one will likely ever admit the fraud outright, really, since Apollo and especially within the last couple decades, space has not been a key factor in capturing the minds of the world. Hell, the US doesn’t even care enough to do their space “program” in-house anymore, they outsourced it! (If Elon Musk got caught faking it, does NASA even get implicated?)

Thinking about your question more, I guess my clearer answer is… outer space isn’t the lie that’s so important that it’s worth decades of deception (which is easier than I think most estimate, keep it very compartmentalized and you generate an army of honest people who will trumpet your success unprompted), the paradigm that requires this maintenance is the Goddess of Science herself. It is through Her Glory that all of academia and the infrastructure produced from it flourish (seriously whenever someone says “science” replace it with “God” or “Zeus” or any deity and it becomes real clear what this actually is.) It is the one world religion that was required as old systems of weaponizing people’s beliefs about the vast unknowable became increasingly ineffective.

Judging by world events over the last couple years, I would say that paradigm is flourishing. Even opposition to some of the current, uh, regulations are framed as so-called “scientific” critiques, as the term has became synonymous with truth and reason. Frankly, with that, “science” could probably change its entire position on the nature of the heavens and many wouldn’t blink an eye, the heavy lifting is already done.

"…scientists have announced tantalizing
hints that the universe is actually relatively
small, with a hall-of-mirrors illusion tricking
us into thinking that space stretches on
forever….Weeks and his colleagues, a team
of astrophysicists in France, say the WMAP
results suggest that the universe is not only
small, but that space wraps back on itself in
bizarre way (Nature, vol. 425, p. 593)….

Effectively, the universe would be like a
hall of mirrors, with the wraparound effect
producing multiple images of everything
inside.” [Spergel adds]: “If we could prove
that the universe was finite and small, that
would be Earth-shattering. It would really
change our view of the universe.”

(Hazel Muir, “Does the Universe Go On Forever,”
New Scientist, October 11, 2003, p. 6.)

In any case, applying parallax to the measure of
stellar distances has its limitations. Its advocates
admit that it cannot do so accurately beyond 300
light-years. Empirically speaking, then, no one is
required to commit himself to a universe greater in
size than 600 light-years in diameter. Any claims to
something larger are simply not conclusive, since it
has become obvious that, with all the anomalies
associated with measuring distance by a star’s
redshift, we have no indisputable yardstick to
measure the universe."

The above from "Galileo was Wrong" by Dr Robert Sungenis vol 1 p343

I expected someone to come back with the "falling to the Earth" argument, which I consider to be just obfuscation or a muddying of the water. Why would something fall? What causes it to fall? The conventional theory is that things fall because a force called gravity pulls them down, such as in the case of the proverbial apple falling from the tree. If gravity is pulling on something and it is moving downward it can be considered to be falling. But in the case of an orbit, we have a tug of war going on between the momentum of the object which is trying to continue straight on and the force that is pulling it around in a circle, a force which we call gravity.
The interesting thing from my perspective is that when something is going around in a circle, it tends to want to fall to the outside of the circle. We call this centrifugal force. When we are on a merry go round, we don't feel a force pulling us to the center of the merry go round, we feel it pushing us to the outside. If we drive our car around in a circle, the force we feel is pushing us to the outside of the circle, not to the center of the circle. If we take a rock and tie a string to it, then tie a loop in the other end and put it over our finger. If we then spin the rock in a circle around our finger the rock will try to go to the outside of the circle thus created. It does not try to fall inward to our finger. We know this because the string is tight, holding back the rock.
So it seems that saying the object is falling toward the Earth in an orbit is just a somewhat misleading way of saying that, indeed, gravity is pulling on the object in orbit. I suppose my focus is on the momentum of the object, which is to continue straight on. It has no momentum downward as in falling, or it would fall to Earth and gravity would win.
As far as the paradigm (good word) goes, it is flourishing. The flood of movies about space is a good example, though in the vast majority of them they can move freely about their spaceships without being in zero gee. Some do present a space craft with a rotating section to use centrifugal force to simulate gravity, but most are like the sports cars of space craft wherein the crew just walks around normally.
I agree regarding the "Goddess of Science", or science with a capital "S". But is it really science, or is it just dogma, as I think we both realize.

Ok, I had to take a brief break there as I have a functioning pineal gland and I have to get away from the electronics/EMF every so often and let my brain cool down. Needless to say I don't sport a cell phone.
So I have a confession to make, and that is that I am a flat earther of sorts. I've done my research and experiments and observations and that's just what it is. However, I'm not one of those who has to hit people over the head with it, push people into the deep end of the pool and expect them to swim. I try to take the official narrative and just poke holes in it for people, show them how contradictive and convoluted it is, maybe get them thinking "well if that's not true then...".
Back in the early '70's when I was 11 or 12 I had a model of the lunar lander, complete with tin foil, and I always thought "really? That's what a space craft looks like?" Then, when I was stationed in Germany around '86 or '87 I saw a show on AFN (American Forces Network) in which they tried to debunk those who didn't believe they had gone to the moon. Really? Some people don't believe we went to the moon at all? It was news to me. I always thought some things were kind of unbelievable, for example that they could blast off from the surface of the moon and actually rendezvous with the space capsule as it came around, close enough to actually hook up, every time without fail, with no practice at all. That seemed like the most amazing feat of the whole trip. But it wasn't until I got my first PC and an internet connection that I was able to see how many lies there truly were (and how much porn there was).
.
So, I read that back in the early days of the rocket program, a reporter approached Wernher Von Braun and asked him, "What would it take to put a man on the moon?"
Wernher came back with "To put a man on the moon it would take a rocket the size of the Empire State building." Why do you think he would say that? Possibly because he knew that the Earth's gravity, if you believe in the Heliocentric model, would have to extend far beyond the moon and therefore a rocket going to the moon would have to thrust with its engines the whole way, in essence going uphill the whole way. But that's not what NASA claims they did with Apollo, they claim they "slingshotted" (don't get me started on that) around the Earth and coasted to the moon. Hmm, well that's only half of the problem because if gravity extends beyond the moon, as the Sphere of Influence (SOI) tells us, then coming back from the moon would be a downhill run that would build up a huge amount of speed. A rocket would not only have to burn fuel all the way to the moon but it would have to come back "backwards" thrusting against the pull of gravity to keep from building up too much speed. Thus the huge rocket required to carry so much fuel, and the more fuel you carry the more fuel you have to carry to move all that fuel, and so on.
Of course NASA was not only able to coast to the moon but they were able to coast back. Without gaining any additional speed.
This conundrum also applies to the Soviet unmanned lunar lander as well as the recent Chinese visit to the moon.
In fact, no space enterprise, from the Soviet probe to Venus, the Viking landers on Mars, the probe that visited Saturn, or was it Jupiter, one that supposedly visited an asteroid, the Mars rovers and even the Voyager space probes, were ever launched into space with a large enough rocket to power itself all the way out to the edge of the Sphere of Influence, the limit of the Earth's gravity. Not even close; they all used up their fuel, three stages of it, just getting out of the atmosphere.
This Sphere Of Influence thing is such a gimme when it comes to showing how full of shit the conventional narrative is, so why would they have told us about it? I think it goes back to what Banta said

Thinking about your question more, I guess my clearer answer is… outer space isn’t the lie that’s so important that it’s worth decades of deception (which is easier than I think most estimate, keep it very compartmentalized and you generate an army of honest people who will trumpet your success unprompted), the paradigm that requires this maintenance is the Goddess of Science herself.

Yes, you generate an army of honest people who believe the narrative, but more so they try to explore it and expand on it, so the lies just have to keep on coming.

gravity pockets

ha, ha, ha


GoFast private rocket

at 58 seconds it hits something that stops both its spin and its forward progress. Even when the first stage separates it climbs no higher. What could it have hit? Interesting that, probably due to the type of lens being used, the edge of the Earth changes its curve back and forth.

Well, no sane person can argue the "EFFECT" of what we call "Gravity", but there's not a shred of evidence of the "CAUSE" of "Gravity". There appears to be no force, field, particle, energy, etc. that causes the downward acceleration of most matter, but not all (e.g. helium) toward terra firma. As such, the cause of "gravitational forces" still remains a theory.

And interestingly, the whole reason for the INVENTION of the THEORY of dark energy and dark matter, had to come about because astrophysicists couldn't account for the lack of mass in the universe that would be required to uphold theory of gravity. Said theoretical existence of dark energy/matter now allegedly comprise 96% of the contents of the universe. All of it undetectable, unmeasurable, unproven. The two THEORIES are inextricably linked.

But if the theory of gravity is wrong, we can likewise eliminate the theory of dark energy/matter. And at that point, we can see one full level above the present idiocracy matrix of academic scientism.

Ken Wheeler (Theoria Apophasis on YouTube) freely provides some highly interesting talks on this. It takes time to get up to speed with what he's saying, but once accomplished, the world appears to be a very different place than what we've been taught - indeed. Gravity is just the tip of the iceberg. His discussions on magnetism, electricity and the ether will make your head spin --- in a good way.

Excellent Korben Dallas.
I'm so grateful you brought this subject out into the open, because I for one, have been secretly thinking about it, a lot!

When I was studying the ultra deep space photos of NASA, and the Void photos, I started to wonder what is real about these photos, because for all I know, it could be another Disney production or a Hollywood style NASA show to keep us in ignorance of the truth. When I looked deep into the space photos, all I could see is a vast physical structure, the same the same, deeper and deeper, all the same matter. I started to feel boxed in. It is a very uncomfortable feeling. I started to wonder what happened back then, as NASA says, in the beginning of 'time' (?). Or was that the beginning?

Then I found the book "Eternal Humans and The Finite gods" (3rd edition) by Theresa Talea, a very complicated read. I am still studying it, and I bought it 2 or 3 years ago. But the good thing about it is that it talks about invisible realms where we came from, meaning, we didn't come from that vast expanse of matter we see in the NASA photos. So, that was helpful in releasing me from that boxed in feeling. But then, and when you do read this book, you will have an excercise for all your neural synapses, because this is even more complicated to imagine. There are worlds that flow from a Hub and around each other, because they can, because they are not so dense, as our worlds here are, and those worlds, also, are Eternal. Whereas...our worlds, are not.

Here's a little excerpt. But let me describe first, what it says about the universe here, that NASA photographs. It says that this is the Veca realm. Where the galaxies are. Then there is an invisible to us world, less dense, above this Veca realm, and it is called the Ecka realm. But in that Ecka realm, some bad things started, by what we know as angels, who are now fallen angels. But she says that in the realm BEFORE that one, is an even less dense realm, which is called the Eckasha. That is an Eternal realm, and same with the ones before that one, and there are quite a few. But, let's proceed to that excerpt now:

"Krysthal races at the Eckasha level and beyond, held grave concern for what the Bourgha have done, especially since they had achieved massive technology gains relatively quickly. They knew they had to do something far-reaching to stop the Bourgha from taking out more matrices. Therefore, Krysthal races from Aquareion and WEsaLA (the capital letters for vowels represent a hard sound Wee-sa-Lay) Eckasha realms, which are parallel to one another, and our Aquinos Eckasha realm, came together to form the Krysthal River Tri-Matrix Cooperative Intervention Team, otherwise called the Krysthal River Host (KRH). Another key player is a Krysthal group from an inner Hub realm, called Aquious, that exists near the Aquareion Eckasha. The Hub worlds stay stationary as Eckasha realms spin through them and through each other. Ecka and Veca realms are too dense for this occurrence, clarifies the ATI, TPE." (All That Is, The Pure Essence).

Doesn't that sound so pretty? Like looking through a kaleidoscope...everything just slowly swirls by. Or imagine being in one of those worlds swirling by, and seeing other worlds blend and unblend from yours as they pass through. Hahaha. I just loved that concept when I read it. But, it's so difficult to imagine what those worlds are like. But, the main thing is, they're not just the cut an pasted together photos of NASA which may be misleading... what if it's all blackness out there? I don't know. But they are pretty photos nevertheless, even though very stifling to look at if that's all you're looking at.

There may be a way to help us know better of what really is real. Our dreams can help. Even though they are very personal. But while I was having great difficulty trying to understand the outer physical universe, I remembered a dream I had, where my Higher Self showed up in it, and there was something in the picture of that dream, which reminded me of the long spear looking things I found while searching the universe websites, that I saw in the Orion area...spears, straight and long, and different coloured in different areas, were stuck into those pictures. There is so many weird things in the pictures, and they try to make excuses for what they are, but most likely, they don't know, and they make up stories. Because as you have read in the excerpt...those Bourgha had gotten themselves into a lot of technology real fast, from some evil thing that had happened back then, and they started using that technology, hence, the need for those around them, to begin protecting themselves and the integrity of the entire structure they were in. So, yea. Technology. Think about that next time you go through those websites that allow you to zoom in and out of space, and you see some very strange and weird geometrically shaped things. Don't think that it's just something that came up in NASA's technology...think that this stuff might really be real, and NASA took a picture of it. Because they can, because we don't know if it's really there or what they tell us it is, that is, some distortion of their telescopes when taking pictures.

Haha. I love how you put the close-up picture of a plum, because it shows us how we can be so easily deceived. Use more than surface knowledge, go within, ask, look. Then put pieces together, at least to make more sense of what we're looking to find...the Truth.

So it was not my intention to monopolize this thread and if my posts keep merging as they have been I will have a book written on here.
Having said that, though...
Lemme ax you dis...
When we look at the stars through our personal viewing devices, such as telescopes, binoculars and cameras, we see the stars get bigger. So? Well we are told that stars are many light years away. Arcturus, which is talked about and shown in the following video, is said to be 36.66 light years away (there's always three sixes involved) which works out to 215.5608 trillion miles away (2155608000000000 miles). Now if a star were really that far away, do you think the puny magnification of our personal devices would make a difference in the size of the image? Or would we merely see a pinpoint of light a little more clearly?
I bought a pair of "stargazer" binoculars a while back because I didn't want something with electronics and I thought they would be more versatile than a telescope (and they were until the tripod blew over when I was on the top of Comb Ridge in Utah and knocked them out of alignment) and even with just a large pair of binoculars the stars did get bigger. Keep in mind this is just an academic discussion because there is no way we will ever know the answer unless you have the ability to fly on out there and verify the distance, since we're not trusting those who claim to know.
This video doesn't focus so much on the supposed distances to these "space" objects but it does take a "real" look at them and compares that to what they sell us. You'll have to bear with about a half minute of references to flat earth in the middle of the vid, but otherwise its very palatable and the guy has a great channel on Bitchute.

Telescopes
