Satellite observations are clear evidence the Earth's shadow is round.

While the flat earth is pointless and has nothing of value to contribute, it has done one amazing this: it has prompted people like Wolfie to create amazing videos like this.
Wolfie, you are truly a champion, not only in the exposing of flat earth silliness, but in showing some of the amazing things that many of us are either unaware of, or simply take for granted.
Thank you, a million times over.

I love that you’ve been so consistent with all of this.

It’s such a great resource for learning about geometry of the earth, geostationary satellites, flying and tons of other stuff that’s just cool whether you’re debating flat earthers or not.

It is little things like that that pushed me into debunking flat earth. Not the huge picture stuff that can not be confirmed/denied. Little every day truths like this are just amazing. Great work mate.

If one does not want to believe in reality, no amount of evidence will convince such poor soul. However by producing and watching the debunking videos we learn about interesting things. Thank you, Wolfie!

You people have got it all wrong. Don’t think about it as a shame that Wolfie has to make these videos, think about it as a way to learn awesome things about astronomy and satellites that you probably would never think about otherwise. Even if flerfers wasn’t a thing, these videos are still excellent.

Fantastic as usual. Great video for anyone.

I got some images of geostationary satellites leaving Earth's shadow this weekend, happy to send you the images. The other side of the shadow was below the roofline at that time unfortunately so couldn't measure total eclipse length.

It is an utter shame that in this day and age this shit is even necessary. When are we gonna stop listening to the insane voices just because they’re crying into our ears?

You've inspired me to take up astronomy in my retirement. Luckily I live in a dark skies area, although the weather isn't often ideal. I should start to get aurora views at this time of year as well.
I'm already planning to visit the USA for the next total solar eclipse there. I was in Wyoming for the last one and it was a truly awe inspiring event.

Thanks, Wolfie. I remember doing stuff like this on my dad's 8" Broadhurst Newtonian, using satellite prediction software meticulously keyed in to my trusty Nascom 2.

Etienne Klein, a French physicist and philosopher of science, had said in a radio program on the popularization of science
:
"We actually have poor knowledge of our knowledge. Everyone knows the Earth is round, but how did we know it was round?
"
It is therefore interesting to ask this question again and to find, for example, original observations as here to answer it, motivated by curiosity as were the ancient astronomers.
So thank you Wolfie for this video, which shows that satisfying our curiosity can also be a fun activity, regardless of the rantings of flatearthers :-)

A flatearther’s greatest fear is sphere itself.

Bets on #1's excuse for this? Or do you think he'll have to disappear for a couple days after the MAULING he received today on Team's channel?

Will another flattie step up to the plate and give us a STUPID answer as to what we are seeing?

Hey, flat earthers, zero predictability = zero model = zero flat earth. It's over.

Aside from being another nail in the flerf coffin, this was a genuinely interesting video. This is a less obvious observation we don’t all get to make.

In case you're wondering why it appears to move down with respect to the geostationary satellites: The BeiDou 3 satellite is on a slightly inclined geosynchronous orbit.
The wikipedia page has a nice animation (I don't know if it's the red or yellow one).

I never thought years ago when I started debating flat earthers that it would be so analogous in other areas where people hold more mainstream beliefs where each precept contradicts the last and only works in an information vacuum of it’s own problem/solution.

I forgot to mention that yours is a subscription I'm glad I clicked on, always interesting and well done, good stuff, thanks for sharing your uploads with the world. 👍

Nice video man, I'm loving these observation videos.
I see that Professes Dave have linked one of you YT videos in his latest FE video, very cool mate..
