Just to clarify, the earth does not rise on the moon (just wobbles). The earth appears to rise because the orbiter circling the moon.


I had a friend who believed the moon landings were fake because of the Earth rise. He rightfully explained it could not happen. I told him the Earth rise happened while they were in orbit (or sub-orbit, whatever), and so he looked it up, realized he was wrong, and gave up on the idea that the moon landings were fake just like that. He had mistakenly believed the Earth rise footage was taken from the surface of the moon. It's always nice to see someone willing to change their mind in the face of new evidence.
