Their ‘lamp-shade’ or the ‘spotlight’ explanations fail to explain it.
In addition to casting a breathtaking, passing shadow over the heads of millions of people, this total solar eclipse gives scientists a unique opportunity to study the Sun, Earth, and their interactions. They would have to invent just another ad-hoc ‘explanations’ how the sun illuminates such an impossible area. A total solar eclipse will darken a swath of North America as the Moon blocks the light of the Sun for a few minutes on April 8, 2024. On the other hand, flat-Earthers insist the azimuthal-equidistant map is the map of a flat-Earth, devoid of any distortions. An area of the map closer to the center represents a larger real-world area compared to the same map area farther from the center. This fact is not a problem because the azimuthal-equidistant is a map, and like any other map, it has distortions. During the equinox, the sun would appear to illuminate a half-circle area. If we plot which areas of the Earth that are getting sunlight on an azimuthal equidistant map centered on the north pole, the sun would appear to illuminate a somewhat elliptical area during the northern hemisphere summer, and a lopsided Bat-Signal shaped area during the winter. This kind of medieval Mappa Mundi illustrate only the reachable side of a round Earth, since it was thought that no.
The Winkle tripel is a map to hang on your wall. The reason is that the sun is very far, and it would illuminate a hemisphere of the Earth, and leave the other dark. A thin box could hold flat double-sided maps of all the major objects in the solar system, or a stack of Earth maps giving physical and political data. At any given time, there is an equal area of the Earth that is experiencing daytime, and that is having a night time.
