[QUOTE="Japrim, post: 140482, member: 7558"] It is also measurable by the navigation lights. This whole flat Earth nonsense can be put to rest for anyone who wants to take the time and trouble to see proof with their own eyes. It starts with your pointing out that the Earth's surface is of uniform shape at sea level. Go anywhere with visual access to a shipping lane or regular traffic(day or night). Take some optical equipment such as a telescope, binoculars, or even night vision if you have it. Every water vessel or aircraft have navigation lights which are in a specific formation, and that can only be seen at certain angles. This is primarily so you can visually gauge their location and approximate course. Here are a few diagrams to demonstrate: [IMG]http://www.cruisingworld.com/sites/cruisingworld.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/import/2011/sites/all/files/_images/201112/1211.running-lights.v22.jpg?itok=OxXgjTcy[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.otenmaritime.com/_/rsrc/1264307742877/international-collision-regulations/part-c---lights-and-shapes/application-definition-visibility-of-lights/mlr08_s5_f01_co%20%5BConverted%5Dweb.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.bhs4.com/3b/5/3b5880e416d34773f4735eceed0f0cd93d5f0a3f_large.jpg[/IMG] Note that the (white) mast light is almost always located at a higher position than the (red and green) running lights or the (white) stern light. (never below them) This is key. When a ship is coming toward you from a long enough distance from beyond the horizon, you will first see it's mast light twinkling, flickering or blinking as it pops up over the horizon. The blinking is caused by the ship rolling and bobbing through the waves. So the mast light sort of pops in and out of view as it goes above, then below, the horizon. You can usually see them when they are about 20-40 nm away, depending on the height of the ship. [ATTACH=full]4960[/ATTACH] Once the mast light becomes fully visible, it will shine constant. It will no longer flicker and blink. [ATTACH=full]4961[/ATTACH] The closer it gets, the more of the ship is revealed. [ATTACH=full]4962[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]4963[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]4964[/ATTACH] This is basically what you are seeing: (The further away the two objects are from each other, the further below the line of sight they are.)
