> Q: “How did NASA create these images with the computer technology available at the time?”
> 
> A: Since NASA did not send rockets into space, they instead spent the money on developing advanced computers and imaging software instead

> Q: “What about the stars, sun and moon and other planets? Are they flat too? What are they made of?”
> 
> A: The sun and moon, each 32 miles in diameter, circle Earth at a height of 3000 miles at its equator, located midway between the North Pole and the ice wall. Each functions similar to a “spotlight,” with the sun radiating “hot light,” the moon “cold light.” As they are spotlights, they only give light out over a certain are which explains why some parts of the Earth are dark when others are light. Their apparent rising and setting are caused by optical illusions.
