📌Interesting Fact📌
The longest line of sight ever captured on the photo is 443 kilometres (275 miles). On the 13th of July 2016 Mark Bret Guma took a photo of a mountain Pic Gasperd (France) from Pic de Finestrelles (Spain). What is interesting is that according to the official size and dimensions of Earth, it is only possible to see as far as 190km away from a point that is 2826 meters above sea level. Any object at the distance of 443km should be obstructed by the physical horizon by 5260m. Pic Gasperd on the other hand is only 3883 meters tall, but can clearly be seen on the photo.
