Flat earthers are habitually incapable of comprehending scale. The galaxy is fucking massive. In the entire history of mankind, the solar system has traversed such a small segment of its path around the galactic center that the stars still appear to the naked eye to be in the same places they were thousands of years ago. But they're not exactly the same. With mdoern telescopes we can see the slight movement when comparing year to year. A simple Google search will tell you this. And that's just constellations. Flat earthers love that argument because, as I said, they're ignorant of the scale. But what about northern vs southern stars? You know there is a completely different night sky in the northern hemisphere from the southern hemisphere, and the stars appear to rotate around the celestial pole throughout the night in opposite directions. In the north they rotate counterclockwise and in the south they rotate clockwise. There is literally only one possible explanation for that, and it's that the Earth is a spinning sphere.
