Curvature of the earth
I've heard it said that out on the open sea, under the right condititions, one can see the curvature of the earth when looking at the horizon. I suspect that this is bullshit. I don't believe that humans can see far enough and/or see enough of the horizon laterally, to notice the curvature.
what do you think?
anyone got a link to something definitive (as in, say, a NASA article)?
