New observations of our atmosphere calculate that it extends far beyond what we thought, encompassing the moon! This means that we've actually never left Earth's atmosphere. Here's what else these observations can tell us.

Earth's Atmosphere Stretches Out To The Moon - And Beyond

"The new study revealed that sunlight compresses hydrogen atoms in the geocorona on Earth’s dayside, and also produces a region of enhanced density on the night side. The denser dayside region of hydrogen is still rather sparse, with just 70 atoms per cubic centimeter at 60 000 kilometers above Earth’s surface, and about 0.2 atoms at the Moon’s distance."

The edge of space: Revisiting the Karman Line

"A number of these authors suggest that the large variations with time of atmospheric properties make it futile to locate a true boundary of space based on physical arguments. In this paper I will argue the contrary: there is a moderately-well-defined boundary of space, it coincides with the Karman line as originally defined, and that line is close to 80 km, not 100 km."

Exosphere - overview

"Not all scientists agree that the exosphere is really a part of the atmosphere. Some scientists consider the thermosphere the uppermost part of Earth's atmosphere and think that the exosphere is really just part of space. However, other scientists do consider the exosphere part of our planet's atmosphere."

  • I asked my physics professor once infront of class why doesn't the moon light make a light spectrum when it passes through a prism, but sunlight does? If the moon light is just the sunlight passing through the moon? He said he didn't know and he failed me in the final exam. I looked over my test, and corrected all his mistakes with proof from the text books and highlighted them with page references. I went from an F to a C. Just because someone is a college professor doesn't mean they know everything. You have to figure out things for yourself sometimes.
  • @BIGMONEYMEDIA
    I learn more and more everyday that we really don't know anything.
  • @RonG-nk8oc
    I know I'm late but is anyone else just not watching the video and only reading the comments because they are absolute gold.

  • @Changamira
    I love how in the so called information age, all we learn is how much we really don’t know.
  • @optimumpcyt
    They have to refine their lies as knowledge increases.
  • @survive4550
    It's very encouraging to read all these comments. People just aren't believing all the BS anymore. People are actually starting to wake up.
  • @AmeliaAcres
    We went to the moon in the 60s before technology like cell phones and internet was created—and then we “lost” the technology. Makes sense.
  • @nandankadam1578
    Who else is not even listening to her.. And just having fun reading comments section.. 😁😁😁
  • @DrDrobotnik
    A year ago I used to think people were crazy, now I know I'm crazy to just believe what I'm told
  • @KrishMod520
    Yet we somehow went to the moon in the 60s with a ship made of duct tape and tin foil 😂😂😂
  • @yungjohnson76
    Bro we see the moon in the daytime cmon why are people so blind and gullible
  • @RacerX888
    So according to NASA, we cannot get through the Van Allen radiation belts and go to the moon because we forgot how, and so that means those radiation belts are within our atmosphere? It sounds more and more like NASA doesn't have a clue what space is or even where it is.
  • @CJHElectro
    When you let others define everything for you, the result is that you have never figured anything out for yourself.
  • @kissthesky40
    I hate how people say “we” when referring to “experts”. It’s elitist and patronizing.
  • I remember the Dog astronaut that sent to space and burn to death, that started me to think no one ever leave earth fr.
  • @Laroc1982
    So. The conspiracy theorists are right! They said we’ve never been to space, never left earth orbit, and that the moon is inside with us!

    No one gets pass the Firmament. “This Life is Not What You Think It Is”. Die for Truth; The Truth, the Way and the Life.
  • Still baffles me went to the moon and didn’t even know where the moon was actually in our atmosphere.
