Summary

[edit]
Description
English: U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's view from the airplane as it flies over the Red Sea from Amman, Jordan, to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on May 24, 2013. [State Department photo/ Public Domain]

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."
