Tilted slightly relative to what? 😉
No tilt, the poles are pointed perpendicularly to the plane of its orbit around the sun.
Full tilt, the poles are pointed in the direction of the plane, a couple of times a year (whatever a year is for that planet, like Pluto the year is over 200 Earth years)
the planets poles point right at the sun and six months (Its months, could be 100 years later like Pluto) the other pole points at the sun. Jupiter tilts only a bit over 3 degrees so pretty much upright, poles pointed perpendicular to the plane of its orbit around the sun.
If you had ever taken astronomy 101 you would have known that.

But the last thing you would ever do is to look at Jupiter for yourself in a decent amateur telescope and see the spin for yourself over the course of a few hours.
But the main hypocrisy here is you know good and well Jupiter spins on its axis, you just want to keep on being pig headed, which is the definition of being a troll.

Originally posted by sonhouseI knew that. And it makes perfect sense. Science can be fun. I always liked astronomy. The vast distances of space. And I can see it all in my mind. God is awesome. 😉

You were casting aspersions on the art of amateur astronomy, intimating there was something wrong with the image when in fact you know absolutely nothing about astronomy and don't care to learn since that would blow holes in your flatassness. You are in fact, a troll with zero credibility except with the ones who brainwashed you, your fellow flatasssers. I know good and well you did not come up with the hard on against NASA all by yourself, you were programmed into it by your buddies.
Good God, sonhouse.

Wait a tic... that's, like, the opposite of what's on display here.
Well, there goes that theory.
The only casting occurring here is the odd looking shadow which is the result of you pushing your head up Uranus.
You've failed repeatedly at the two questions so you're left with this hand waving which has no connection to reality and no relevance otherwise.
You can't explain the ability to see distant objects nor can you justify the unending lies which emanate from your beloved NASA.
That is the crux of your problem.

Nasa may indeed be guilty of incidents of lying or exaggeration, to improve its reputation or funding etc. This however has no bearing on the fact that the Earth is a sphere or we have been to the moon. For either of these facts not to be true would require a conspiracy on a biblical scale, and a conspiracy to boot that serves no purpose.
My question to you. If the Earth is indeed flat, why has so much effort been put in to convincing people it isn't?
Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeHa ha! The Bible is of Biblical proportions, and to some it's a conspiracy. Why can't there be another conspiracy of equal or greater proportion?
