In this video, I work through the physics behind What does a Sextant Measure and connect the idea to measurable predictions and observations. Bob the Science Guy | Science You Can Test

What Does It Take to Become a Scientist?

$Why Laser Tests Over Water Can Mislead Earth-Curvature Measurements Long-distance laser tests over water are often treated as simple curvature measurements, but the laser beam itself is affected by atmospheric refraction and its height above the water may be poorly constrained. This video compares laser observations with an optical auto-level method that establishes a local horizontal and directly measures vertical offset.$
