$Why is the bottom part of Turning Torso behind water? Two hour timelapse of the view to Turning Torso over 21km, starts at 1:14 . No sign of varying refraction or mirages. Still the bottom part 22m is obscured by water, while observing from 0.8m. Air and water temperature, 2-3°C More weather data can be seen here, https://flic.kr/p/24MHUuK Camera position: http://www.google.com/maps/place/55.65236,12.64811 Height of Turning Torso, https://flic.kr/p/UHaPbQ Daylight photo, https://flic.kr/p/24LsFgM Night photo, 5sec, https://flic.kr/p/24LsEXv Night photo, 10sec, https://flic.kr/p/GtqNua #TurningTorsoFlatEarth$ $A ferry from Bornholmslinjen hiding behind the horizon, March 11th 2019 In this video I show how ships disappear bottom up behind the horizon. I didnt have a tripod with me so the footage is very unstable. Dandypanty made a stabilized version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVMxohidO40 The ferry is sailing between Rønne (Denmark) and Ystad (Sweden), https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:14.4/centery:55.2/zoom:9 Ferry: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:155510/mmsi:219017081/vessel:EXPRESS%201 On a different day (19th of March) I used an app to get the position of the ferry. I made a collage with all the needed data to calculate amount obstructed here https://flic.kr/p/2dVCxfR Ferry height estimated based on photographs: 24m Observer height: 4.05m Distance: 21.6km Amount hidden geometrical on globe Earth: 16.3m Amount hidden including std. refraction on globe Earth: 12.9m Amount hidden observed: ~13.3m$
