Hey Guys,
I know there's been a lot of talk about how far objects in space are. It occured to me that if the atmosphere is shaped like a Dome, then it will act like a telescope and magnify the appearance of images like the Sun, Planets, and Stars.
Here is a photo of earth taken from a Mars orbiting spacecraft and the ajoining article:

But when you remember that looking down on earth without the aid of atmospheric lensing will render a smaller image of earth, then these kinds of space photos make sense even from a flat earth perspective.
