Quick question No.2

Stars do not appear within ten degrees of the horizon, where the bulk of the atmosphere lays.

That picture looks faked to me.

We all know they arn't fake. But the reason they fade out is due to "light pollution" not the atmosphere.

"Light pollution" fades out distant lands and the Ice Wall.

Thats a fair one.

I could argue the point that if we were out at sea, but I think I will let this one rest for the night lol.
Pld tom.

That photo is a fake; the one guy's in a t-shirt, and the other is WILLINGLY grabbing a piece of metal with his bare hands

Sorry, but I disagree. Often summits with the solar exposures can be quite warm.

If we look closely we will see that stars fade out as they approach the horizon.

You claim that stars can't be seen with 10^o of the horizon and then present a photograph with a star trail going behind a tree to the horizon. Thanks for disproving your point within the same post.

Rayleigh Scattering would also stop one from seeing from Everest to the edge of the wall.
