refraction

Hey guys, hey Mick first post on the forum, I hope everyone's doing well So, I understand that the selenelion lunar eclipse is caused by atmospheric refraction.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_eclipse#Selenelion A selenelion or selenehelion occurs when both the Sun and an eclipsed Moon...

I have been playing around with google earth and I have a quick question does it take refraction into account when making pictures or does it use what would be predict through geometry only?

A few days ago i witnessed a real life example of atmospheric tunnelling. Due to warm air over cold waters, the skyline of La Rochelle was faintly visible over 50 km away, despite it being normally below the horizon. I've seen this kind of optical phenomenon precisely twice. The air is usually...

For fun I'm doing a lot of long distance observations across the ocean. A flat earther made an excellent point on one of my videos: Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtHPqxiscYw&lc=z222wpz4jsnagxygy04t1aokgvojlxjibrylwy0f5g35rk0h00410 (The image below is from #13 and #12 respectively)...

The following post was made by @jeranism, using a fake account "PeteShasta". This is a bannable rule violation. I have been watching this forum and the videos made by Eric Dubaz, Jeranism and Mark Sargent for about a year now. I thought the flat earth dudes were ridiculous. Dumbest thing I...

Mick was just on Joe Rogan and spoke heavily on Flat Earth. One thing he said, was that many flat earth researchers incorrectly report observations of distant points. I agree, many people forget to include the observation height or the height of the observed landmark. However, there are some...

Views of cities across lakes or bays are an excellent way of observing the curvature of the Earth. The distances are easy to calculate, and the building heights are well known. In many cases there are 3D models of the city buildings in Google Earth, so we can recreate the image there to see if...

I took this photo at 3:36 PM, Aug 25, 2015. The plane had just flown past the sun when I noticed this small region of interesting colors in the trail it left. Here you can see the position of the colors relative to the sun. This was a couple of seconds earlier, and the plane is still visible...

I keep being presented with 'earth curvature experiment' videos recently, by flat/concave earth advocates. It seems to be their new favorite "evidence" that Earth is not spherical. Debunking this gets into math which I stink at, regarding refraction. I would like to be sure I have considered...
