And... once again, read my initial reply to hortlund.  It was simple.  The idea that the first moon landing could be fake, but all the rest real is by far and away the easiest to prove and disprove making the very notion of it silly.  The very presentation of the concept silly.  Its almost as if someone doesn't believe they used the term "I thought".

He asks for the explaination because in his limited knowledge of physics and photography, he discounts the light source as the being from the sun. Up to us to prove it is the sun to convince him, no?

I tried this out with the convex passenger side mirror on my van. At 1ft away, the sun occupied maybe 1% of the mirror. From 30ft away, it occupied about 50%. Alot of that 50% was probably glare and not actual sun,

Excellent troll Hortlund, becuase of this thread people are staring at the sun through mirrors in real life. That's not as good as getting them to send money to you, but pretty damn good none the less .

Ozark,

In this instance, one picture truly is worth a thousand words...

However, I'm glad Regurge took to the time to explain how the optics of a convex mirror work when viewed from different distances in relation to the reflection in the mirror.

Thanks for taking the time Regurge! I was too lazy to do it myself.... LOL
