That was a sweet vid. Definitely didn’t expect the predictions about the views from different locations. Pretty convincing and wonderfully nerdy.
Oh yeah, you can change the size of the embedded video if you click on the gear icon next to the “embed” field on YouTube. It just changes the embed tag, which you can copy and paste like normal.
Ah, clever darw1n.
But ya, couldn’t help but wonder how that would change things from an anthropological perspective, heavenly bodies tend to be big in a lot of religions and such. Plus how that would factor into the space race/research and all that, dunno. Imagine exploration would’ve gone a lot faster with such a definitive East-West marker.
