    Any Research on "False Horizons" Under the Moon?
    From: David Iwancio
    Date: 2023 Jan 16, 22:53 -0800

    I saw that false horizons was brought up here back in 2020, with mention that it may just be anecdotes from navigators looking to avoid extra work.  But has there been any real research or writing on the phenomenon beyond "Don't shoot the moon at night?"

    I'm asking because I'm wondering if it could be explained by the dip of the horizon being signifigantly different at night than during daylight/twilight hours.
