  • Fact Check: Polish Astronaut Did NOT Admit The Earth Is Flat --- It Was A Joke

    Fact Check

    Did Polish astronaut Miroslaw Hermaszewski admit in a 2018 interview that that the Earth is flat? No, that's not true: The claim takes his remarks out of context -- it was an apparent joke aimed at flat-earthers and demonstrating obvious annoyance with an interviewer's questions.

  • Fact Check: Definition Of Word 'Horizontal' Does NOT Prove Earth Is Flat

    Fact Check

    Did the word "horizon" come from the word "horizontal," and is this evidence that the Earth must be flat? No, that's not true: The word "horizon" came first, and the adjective "horizontal" followed. The adjective describes something "relating to or near the horizon."

    Do NASA documents say that we live on a "flat, nonrotating earth"? No, that's not true: NASA does not believe in a flat-Earth theory of any kind.
