The very act of debating one's own sound scientific views with those of an opposite persuasion is good practice for later. Because later on you might be in a cutting edge field where this kind of debate is between two 50/50 camps. We need the practice ! Therefore not sad, but actually welcome and helpful. (Sometimes amusing too but I try not to laugh at others ignorance as it can cause offence). | |

The solid angle of the sun is rather small, so the fact that the sun was eclipsed by the camera legs do not discredit the video. | |
| Apr 8, 2017 at 18:26 | comment | added | bmende | @BarocliniCplusplus The clouds aren't in the way of the rays though. If you watch at 2:06 in the video the sun disappears behind the tiny camera legs. The video is obviously fake. | |
| Apr 8, 2017 at 18:04 | comment | added | David Hammen | @bmende - Those are crepuscular rays. Go outside sometime; you can see those anywhere. I am getting the distinct impression that you are indeed a flat earther. If so, that's kinda sad. | |
| Apr 8, 2017 at 17:41 | comment | added | BarocliniCplusplus | @bmende those are clouds that block the sun | |
| Apr 8, 2017 at 17:04 | comment | added | bmende | @DavidHammen It's fake. Take a look at this screenshot I took. The rays disappear when they shouldn't. So then the question is, why are they faking it? | |

| Apr 8, 2017 at 2:39 | comment | added | user2821 | @Bmende there is midnight sun in Antarctica as well, during the southern summer. Also the days in e.g. Australia and South Africa are longer in December than in June. | |
