NASA forgets to photoshop out anomaly for artemis 2

NASA forgets to photoshop out anomaly for artemis 2

Please help me identify if that blob of land is Australia or Africa (or somewhere else), I think the terminator line only appears in a certain direction next to the continents. EDIT: The terminator line's position is fine.

Ship over Horizon debunked

The ships look like they’re disappearing because of perspective. A camera zooming far in can bring a ship back into visibility after it has already vanished. https://www.tiktok.com/@corporate_tarzan33/video/7582943221769112862?q=camera%20zoom%20brings%20ship%20back%20into%20view&t=1778371162499

In the scenario of a curved surface, a ship would drop 8 inches every sq mile, meaning they’d be several feet beneath our level in the photo so a camera zooming in could never bring a ship back into view on a round planet because it would literally be obscured by the horizon and below the line of sight. That’s not something you can combat by simply zooming in; perspective and our limit of horizontal sight is. The bottom of a ship can never be brought back into view because the ocean isn’t flat at all, as waves between us and the boat obscure the bottom effectively (it’s a similar principle with Wiley uneven terrain on land) Also, if the boat was really disappearing because of curvature, it would appear as if it’s leaning west to someone who’s looking from the east, almost tipping over forward because that curvature would be a diagonal slope away from us. The ships in photos I've seen trying to argue the horizon principle are upright in all distances no less than when they were closer to the camera.

here is the specific block giving me trouble. Does anyone know a fix? Changing the image file from png, jpeg, or webp does nothing
