Science has become a religion, we all learned in school that the moons diameter happens to be about 2100 mi. Light as we have been taught travel in parallel lines from 93 million miles. If that is a fact how is it that the shadow cast of totality during the eclipse is only 70 miles wide? Any basic science experiment shows that the shadow cast cannot be smaller than the object that is blocking the sun. Do the research. There are also many talented people out there who are challenging the so called eclipse pics by the use of photo forensics. I'm not trying to start a thread on Conspiracy theory here although I totally woke from Sandy Hook and 911. I find that if you have doubts about any one event, they all have to be questioned. I'm curious and just want to know the truth. Gulf of Tonkin anyone? Do you trust NASA? Moon landings? I'll end it here. Happy Roadstering! Love our Boxsters.

Okay stop.... He may have something there! If the shadow of the moon is only 70 miles wide and not 2100, then the moon would only be like 250 miles away instead of the 238,000 miles that NASA said it was when they didn't really send astronuts up there! That explains a lot of things!
