This is for @2pacorwhat who can't seem to see Earth curvature in some space footage. I had suggested he go to the original (not distorted by NoDonkRecords), and pause when the horizon was exactly center-frame. He suggested stopping at 2m 11s, which is not center frame (image #1). In my original post to him I'd suggested 2m 10s for a true center-frame horizon. I've added a red line to show the horizon's deviation from straight (image #2). To further highlight Earth curvature, the horizon can be squashed by aligning it vertically (image #3) and squashing it (image #4).
