Day 14: Distance photos show level plane

A quick math-check gets us the obvious lack of curve, when we take Guinness Record’s cited champion ‘Longest line of sight on earth photographed,’ bringing us: (series of mountains labeled up to 493 km, or 306.63 miles or 1,006,000 ft away). 306.63 miles using Earth Curvature Calculator brings us 11.85 miles, or 62,549 ft of would-be curvature. Shkhara has an elevation of 17,070 ft., surprising the expectation by a factor of 3.66x & then some.
