It’s the curvature of the earth
and your fixed point of observation vs the rockets fixed angle of incline that create that effect (it’s been way to long and I’m reasoning this out). It strikes me as a variant of the shadow observation proof used to prove that the earth was not flat. (Oh those ancient Greeks!!)
Saw this over El Segundo this morning while walking the dog …
I’m still trying to figure out what I’m looking at. Cheers, Jonathan ...
But your picture appears to show something on a downward trajectory, no?
Initially I thought a shooting star…but it looked too close.
Well
Under that theory. The star overhead would be “above” the star lower on the horizon. It’s simply your relative view point to space. What matters is how far away from earths surface the two relative objects are. Not there positions. I hope that makes sense...
