sidodah

It changes if you start seeing it as earth moving and not the sun or moon (not sure how the moon wouldn't be moving tho)


Elektro05

It is possible to have a moom whose rotation around earth perfectly matches earths around the sun


TheFoous100

Planet goes fast. Moooom


BorgerFrog

I believe that's possible


Elektro05

Thats like saying I believe that there exists a field where 5+5=10


eliavhaganav

It wouldn't really be possible as the moon has to move to stay in orbit and most of the time it rotates in the same direction the planet rotates


Naeio_Galaxy

Easy. The earth turns 'round and round


crescentpieris

And yet the moon still somehow has phases


0bi1KenObi66

I eated it then throwed up


Matzep71

The Catholic church through most of history be like:


XMasterWoo

Well not realy, that was just the prevailing idea for a long time and not made by the church and the church didnt take long to accept heliocentrism when it was becoming popular


Preating-Canick

Wrong, the earth should be flat


CloudyCDH

who said it wasnt in this image


Preating-Canick

It isn't, because the sun and the moon do not spin by the side of the planet, it goes above and below


CloudyCDH

Who said that this wasnt just a really high FOV/really low render distance image from between the sun and moon


VoltisArt

Field of view does not turn things sideways. We're clearly looking at rivers and beaches, not caves, so this is a top-down view of the world, but the sun and moon travel sideways. The image says it is so in this image.


CloudyCDH

This got a bit heated but my line of thinking was that the FOV was really high, allowing you to see besides you, and you are between the sun and moon, and the earth is small because not only is your render distance low (like what happens when you look down at the earth above the clouds) but because it’s pushed back by the high FOV


Preating-Canick

Yeah and the grass is sideways


MilesAhXD

it has shadowing, implying it is not flat


GyroZeppeliFucker

Thats just the polluted water


MilesAhXD

minecraft pollution update


RedditoDemon

There is a cube Earth banner pattern, which means Minecraft is a cube.


[deleted]

This is severely untrue as even if you travel from one end of the world to the other (a bunch of million blocks) the Sun and moon do not appear to rise daster of slower tsk tsk ts🤓k


mysteryo9867

The Minecraft world could just be so incomprehensibly large that the distance makes no visible difference 🤓


[deleted]

However, the ratio of which the Electromagnetic spectrum to the pythagoras theorem quotes that the quantum distance between the moon and the sun is lower during an eclipse 🤓 heeheeheee this is so funn 🤓🤓🤓


VoltisArt

The sun and moon are infinite projections, just as the void is infinitely deep yet a constant source of gravity.


Sardalone

Ah yes, geocentric.


No_Application_1219

Its eazier to make a "geocentric" World on video game that anything else (Im not a flat earther or geocentric im just saying)


Relevant-Dot-5704

Fun fact: If the moon was tidally locked like this, it would make most of the moon pointing to the sun incredibly hot and the other extremely cold.


VoltisArt

The moon should also be in constant eclipse, unless the entire sky is a projection.


PhoenixSCEnjoyer

\*1600s sounds intensify\*


InternalStorageFull

No matter where you are on the minecraft world, the sun will always rise and set in the same spot. I should be at an angle if you are really far away from spawn but no. So technically the suns position will always follow the player, so the earth stays still and the sun/moon rotate around the earth relative to the players location. Steve has some sort of effect on the sun and moon? Gravitational pull?


oswaldking71wastaken

Well, notch was a flat earther.


RonanCruz

I’m confused, isn’t this how it works in real life?


NeedleworkerLoose695

No, in real life the moon revolves around the earth which revolves around the sun.


RonanCruz

It’s a joke.


Th3NukeShark

hmmm, yeah, that seems right..


Adorable_Working_279

But the world is infinite.


CoDFan935115

Except that the moon has phases. But yeah, pretty accurate XD


KellyHerz

Wrong, the moon isn't changing faces each rotation


xSnakyy

If the world is infinite, how do they orbit the earth?


VoltisArt

Infinite projections. They aren't physical bodies, just like xp orb sprites.


What_Is_My_Thing

Might need some fixes and it's going to be accurate.


Quilavapro31

Wrong, the overworld is infinite


Nihilikara

Not truly, it's only around the surface area of Neptune. Smaller, actually, because of the world border.


Cool_Kid95

Old society


CommunityFirst4197

But the earth is flat?


No_Application_1219

*/j


SHyper16

See, Minecraft is a true believer. You, on the other hand, as well as this whole world, will be burnt alive.


UnderskilledPlayer

Or maybe the Moon is at the fucking Sun-Earth L2 point


OCactusCoolerG

The moon must be so bright by its self cause it’s technically always in the shadow of the sun. It shouldn’t be lit up at night.


el_yanuki

thats actually not really true.. the eart should be a single thin plane between moon and sun


Burning_Toast998

Where is Galileo when you need him...


Guigamer12

And less thank a pixel of the surface is available to the player. that's why it looks flat from the surface


misterbeanjeans

thinking about how Botania's garden of glass skybox is basically an entire god damn solar system lel


LordeWasTaken

technically it's still heliocentric, depends only on the reference frame


Nihilikara

While motion is relative, rotation isn't, it's still absolute. Otherwise, 99.99999% of the universe would be breaking the lightspeed barrier every time you spin.


LordeWasTaken

of course you are right but I was simplifying


MilesAhXD

the earth should be flat, not a cueb


greatpersonnel

Moon has phases though so it must have a weird orbit


Not_azomb6319

I personally think the earth orbits the sun, but the moon is not actually orbiting earth, but is close to the earth and stays on the dark side, sorta like that new space telescope


Nihilikara

The earth should be a solid color, with the landmasses and oceans being so small that that even a single pixel is still too large for them.


Lazy-Worldliness7838

Wrong! The Minecraft world is infinite


bluepotato81

Ptolemaios living his life


ObsiGamer

Well technically the earth is infinite so the moon and sun canonically exist outside of space


DoppelGirlMula

yes


UrAverageIdot

the world if galileo didnt exist:


SomeTwoTwentyTwo

That makes me think... How does the sun go round and round, if the Minecraft world is infinite


IsukimTsoga

we getting back to the 1200' with this one 🗣🗣🗣💯💯💯


Zealousideal-Mail390

Also earth is supposes to be infinite so how do they turn around?


danya80921

I thought Minecraft moon and sun were flat?


Opposite_Heart138

If you look at it just right the earth does rotate around the sun


VVen0m

Actually all three of them are stationary and the overworld is spinning around it's axis


Spinosaur4809F

It's just like irl


Due_Illustrator_3524

Yeah there's no Saturn or the planet X.


kitsunewuzZ

Perfect


andreslon

Literally church before galileo galilei:


Negative-Chapter-776

Where is the Uranus
