1/2 A of the Technate of America, a geographical representation of the union projected by the Technocracy movement. This envisaged totalitarian technocratic state was based on a scientific control of production and distribution, conceived as the only way to achieve economic abundance. The natural resources inside the Technate will form a self-sustaining/independent unit, self-justifying hir continental size

It's hard to explain what a shock this was. It felt like a stalemate that was going to end with a battle, many mushroom clouds, & cities evaporated. Or it was going to be seal team six taking out most of the Politburo. But that wasn't it. It just kind of collapsed, sure, with lots of pressures applied, but we weren't sure what we were watching. Even the intelligence agencies were perplexed. But the Soviet empire collapsed.

Atmospheric refraction, due to the different temperature/altitude profile in the atmosphere at different times of day...makes distant mountains appear taller or shorter.

The attached photo is a comparison of what I shot yesterday afternoon and this morning. The camera was set up within inches of the same location for both shots, and those mountains are between 50 and 120 miles away...so I'm saying that any parallax effect from camera location is essentially zero.

I have annotated with arrows where it's easy to make a comparison of how the near and far ridge lines overlap differently in the two photos.

This is a follow up to:

Imagine the care that was needed to conduct surveys before the GPS/GNSS era:

"The Great Theodolite built by Troughton & Simms in London stood nearly 1.5m high, had a horizontal circle one meter in diameter, and could read angles to a single second of arc. Moving it required 30 porters and sometimes elephants."

"The reduction of Nicolsons observations was a colossal task. Each ray from each station had to be corrected for instrumental error, for temperature and pressure, and for the curvature of the Earth. Above all, they needed to correct for atmospheric refraction, which at those distances could amount to six or seven minutes of arc and change from hour to hour."
