There are many people on ThemTube who, using infrared cameras, are taking pictures of such continuously. (you used to have to wait for a very clear day) You can look them up if you wish to see.
This data goes smack against everything you have been told your whole life.
Sooo... does light bend over the earth's surface, or is the earth a different shape than what we are told?
The other big clue, that EVERYONE notices, but few think about is that the horizon is always at eye level.
If we lived on a ball, if you got in a plane, the earth should be down. The higher you go, the more down the earth is. But, its not.
Another piece of this is, you cannot see the earths curve from a plane.
Mathematically, given a point on/above a sphere, the area that you can see is a defined as a circle. And that circles is all the same elevation from that point.
So, the curve of the earth you see in a plane is an optical illusion. (because your eyes, being circular lenses, makes circles out of everything)
If you actually widen your eyes and look out of your periphery vision (on both sides at once) you will notice that wall curves down/up towards a vanishing point.
If you take photographs and put them in PS™ and then draw straight lines, you will notice that everything you thought was a straight line is actually curved. (except the horizon)

Somehow I'm not convinced.
I'm going to guess you think this ship is sinking?
And you should not be convinced.

But why is my computer screen rectangular?
Because your mind says its rectangular.

I'm not sure that has anything at all to do with objects that don't fill my entire field of vision (like the Sun and the Moon).
Right, and how do you explain the sinking ship?
