fight scene immaculate

In all honesty, this is a perfect film. Before watching, i questioned myself frequently on the laws of physics and gravity itself. In fact, i believed that the earth was the center of the universe, and that the earth is fully flat, like a frisbee. My father, named michaelangelo, was one of the first people who taught me this very notion, which I still hold true to this day. However, after watching this masterpiece of a film, i realized my wrongdoings in the past. Galileo is truly a genius, and i should stop believing heresay proposed by ancient elders of my generation who are, in all ways, stupid and inane. They should all have regretted teaching me such nonsense. Have a good day.

As seen through a telescope from Earth, Jupiter does not appear as a crescent. Also, seen at the same magnification as the full moon was shown a second earlier, it would appear much smaller. No stars would be seen right next to the full moon, due to the huge difference in luminosity.
