Standing there on the cracked shore I could see the curve disappear behind the mountains and it made me think how easy it is to forget the bigger picture when you are just looking at a puddle. Has anyone else gone to a place with a wide open view and had it settle an argument for you?
I tried to explain the curve by matching a flight path to a globe model and got a result that was off by 40 miles. Guess my math skills need work, anyone else run into weird gaps when trying to visualize flight data?
After 3 years of casually watching the night sky, I hit 127 sightings last Tuesday night. That number surprised me because I never actually kept track before. I just started a note on my phone back in 2021 when my nephew asked if satellites were real. Now I've got a whole log of dates and times. What's your count if you've ever bothered to track it?
