[@seabeejg]

@@tiggywink1 It says this when I looked it up, but I thought it was much farther (I forget exactly). Regardless, it seems unfathomable that it's only ~3 miles from our eyesight. But I was curious about a couple things. 1. The more powerful a magnifying lens of a scope, the longer or farther out you can see the ship. Why? 2. I was about 6' tall and was standing in the at sea level with the water up to my ankles. I was on San Clemente Island facing East and could see the California coastline from well north of Mugu Rock, California all the way down past Tijuana, Mexico, a stretch of over 200 miles of coastline. I could see the entirety of Mugu Rock that is about 68 miles away from me and is around 120 feet above sea level, with the exception of some of the beach and beach rock near sea level. How? Light refraction? So a laser couldn't touch it if pointed? Or because of light refraction, it would, but it's bending and is not in actuality a straight laser? Tijuana has an elevation of 65 feet, yet I could see most of its lowlands from more than 85 miles away. That's with the naked eye. I just don't believe the 3 miles to make any sense, even with the light refraction explanation. I am looking at something 68 miles away. I can see it, plain as day. You can have your eye on the Pacific Coast Highway in a boat to the island the whole time, never leaving your sight. The beach at sea level should be over 3,051 feet of curvature beyond the horizon if you figure the formula for the curvature of the Earth at 7.92 inches per mile squared. 7.92" X 68 miles squared = 36,722.08 inches, which is 3,051.84 feet of curvature. How do I see these areas that are only feet above sea level from 68-85 miles away?

[@tiggywink1]

@@seabeejg1. I'm not a genius on how telescopes work exactly, but I figure the outer lens package concentrates an image into a narrow point, then there are other lenses along the tube that magnify that concentrated image....I just know I have a telescope and it works great!. Well, my friend worked as a mathematical engineer for decades, and I asked him to check out the figures that we read on the Earth Curvature chart...He did his trig or whatever and said it was accurate, at least up to 90 degrees of spherical roundover..... Now, my other bud, who lived in Arizona, says you always see a mirror image of cars below the actual car itself, not above it....If the car is a long way off, you might not even see it, until it gets close. Now this is a mirage caused by heat rising, and is an inferior mirage, I believe, but I live up north and don't see that occur often. But where I live, I can see the water splashing on an opposed beach from sea level 10 miles away, any day of the year, hot or cold, weather allowing. I should not be able to see it...Anytime...I've watched boats head out to sea at 15 to 20 knots for a couple hours, before they start to disappear...of course, with telephoto....I think ships are just merging into the convergence zone between sea and sky...The atmospheric veil won't let you see farther....Plus one should not see a perfect mirror image on the water from afar either...Or the sun rays from an ocean sunset glare all the way to your feet...
