    Observe refraction: Earth's Limb from the ISS

    In this very short YouTube video, you can see the effects of refraction!!

    Look through the earth's atmosphere to see the star field.  Now pick out a star and watch it "rise".  Pay careful attention to its rate of motion.  Now watch that star as it emerges from the effects of the atmosphere.  There is a decided jump. 

    At first, I thought it just an artifact of the video, but after multiple viewings, I became convinced!
