[QUOTE="The Prowler, post: 388891, member: 1301"] That video is cool, but you can see the camera is distorting the image. Look at the 14 second mark; the horizon looks really curved, but we are only seeing maybe a hundred miles of land from left to right at the horizon. Now go to the 5:00 mark. Now we are seeing thousands of miles, yet the curve looks the same. If the Earth were really spherical and we see that much of a curve of just about 100 miles, then we would expect to see something more like a semi-circle when we looked at several thousands of miles. Bad camera lens are responsible for a number of misconceptions we have about the Earth. [/QUOTE]
