Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image shows severe thunderstorms over South Carolina as observed from NASA’s ER-2 aircraft flying at 65,000 feet during the Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment recently.

Image Credit: NASA

Compressed photo gif animation to show better the curvature of the horizon due to sphericity of Earth.

"The horizon appears flat because the curvature is too small when observed from near the Earth’s surface. However, in some cases, we can exaggerate the curve by taking photographs of the horizon and then magnifying the results vertically."
