      It's a rare sight and you can only see this on mid of 2020. Not a single report at all because of the lockdown. They want us to drive car so the smog will make sure you couldn't see any further than your city.

      They are covering up, wake up sheeple!

      Edit: one note here, is that you shouldn't be able to see Sauron's Tower at this distance, because it collapsed a long times ago.

        I think that is a shot from "Babe: Pig in the City" movie, from 1998.

          It's very far away and we're still seeing the light from when it still stood

                  Okay, I want to be able to simulate what the world would actually look like from a vantage point where you could see the whole world unwrapped like this.

                    Come to think of it the Occupation Regime of West Palestine is more like Minas Morgul since this the main location from which the empire of darkness unleashes it's hordes onto the human kingdoms of the middle east. And I would concur that Barad-dur is Washington DC. (The one ring is capitalism btw)

                          Make sense, Sauron didn't die he just weakened and took ages to recover.

                                Would that actually be true? Someone should try to render a flat earth, for science, shits, and giggles.

                                    Well now you’re assuming the sun is spherical and gives off light in all directions.

                                    If it were more like a flashlight, then flat earth day and night still works. So checkmate again.

                                      Where would the photographer be here that they can see the pyramids with the Statue of Liberty (what a joke) is to the left of them? Saudi Arabia maybe?

                                        Basically, you could see for a long way but your eyeballs suck so it largely doesn't matter. Even with the best telescope and optics on a perfect day you will be limited by the gasses in the atmosphere which scatter light.

                                        Also, Barad-dûr was destroyed when Frodo threw the One Ring into the fires of Mount Doom so it wouldn't be there.

                                          Ok I just spent 20 mins with an LLM and it got me setup with three Js and adding landmarks to a flat earth projection.

                                          I’ve not the time nor inclination to take it further but happy to share a link to the code if someone else wants to expand on it.

                                          I am a software developer and my curiosity was piqued and the LLM cured that, but happy to zip up the project.

                                          Leaves a lot to be desired as it’s not what you would actually see and more a play on this meme where you can use the camera to set vantage point and see how things would align. We used cubes of various heights based on the landmark to represent landmarks so no crazy graphics.

                                          Edit: Never ceases to amaze how many people downvote LLM mentions like they don’t have some utility. Bias is clearly showing. Like I could tackle this on my own, but do I want to spend hours doing something on a whim or 20 minutes with an LLM to get something functional with a little back and forth is well worth it imo.
