There are two cameras, one on either side of the rocket engine. Notice you see different parts of the engine in each picture

It might be here Rob Skiba made a video that addressed that question. My computer is real slow so it takes to long to scroll down to his bottom (earlier videos) to look around and find video. But this may be it, look toward the end of the video.

The problem with Rob Skiba's approach is he is using the bottom half of the lense whereas the atmosphere acts like the top half of the lense (as was shown in the video he got his idea from). His experiment is bending light upwards instead of downwards which is what happens in reality when there is atmospheric lensing.

So then, obvious the camera is making the curve or causing the earth to appear curved.
I've already explained that if the horizon is in the centre of the field of view it will not be distorted by the lense. Either side of the centre will make it more concave or convex. I've seen plenty of clips where the curve is clearly visible in the centre of the field of view.

The curvature is still visible in that video, despite the more distant pylons being obscured by haze.

You're a bit late on this one prodromos.

So it really does not matter that from one view, the camera presents a convex earth edge. And the other view presents a concave earth edge.

Your just going to stick with your ole defend the globe reply.

To bad you simply will not just admit, they are using a camera lens to give the impression of curvature.

Probably because most everyone doesn't believe that hundreds of people over decades have been going to great lengths to perpetuate a myth. Maybe someone should run a poll asking if anyone really cares if the earth is flat. Since apparently no one can really tell the difference in their day to day life, my guess is it wouldn't cause a panic.

I'm simply telling you how a camera lens works. You have a camera and you may even have a wide angle lens. All you need to do is take a photo of a series of straight lines and compare reality with your photo, see how much distortion there is the further from the centre of view and the fact that the lines will be straight in the middle. Then take a photo of a series of parallel slightly curved lines and compare the results again. Then you will be able to judge whether the horizon in high altitude images is straight or curved as you will know where in the field of view it is not being distorted.

The same lens will cause a curved line to look flat, depending on where it falls in the field of view. It works both ways.

'They' (ie the devil's minions) did it with Darwinism. Also with 'pathogenic viruses'. The list runs into many pages. A former CIA director was notoriously reported to have said "Our job will be done when everything the American public believes is false'.

My friend, when the Bible says the whole world lies in the devil's hands, the HS is not joking or exaggerating. The devil is the father of lies, it's his very nature, it's how he steals ppl's souls, by conning, scamming, confusing us out of our birthright. He's been doing it from the beginning.

We're in a war here, it's not 'ho-hum', who cares what shape the world is. Something far bigger is at stake, what we're trying to do is help sleepy brethren wake up and see the truth. Unfortunately, most are in the grip of the devil so far they just can't escape, worse they've unwittingly become his minions. It's the same problem we face with UR, the implications of the proposition are too much for many to bear. They don't want God, they prefer the false assurance of their rubbish idol shepherd that they hold a valid insurance policy endorsed by their ridiculous god of spaceballs and firepits.

The irony of you making this statement.

Beautiful poetic description of creation. Something you ignore in your flat earth cosmology is what is described on the 5th day.

"and let birds fly above the earth in the open dome of the sky."​

Your model has a closed dome, the same as all the pagan flat earth views. Open dome is what you find in a globe model because no matter how far you travel, the dome is still open. You never reach an edge.
