>>17414198Why don't the stars appear more bunched-together the closer you look from straight up in the sky downward toward the horizon?
According to your picture, we should be able to see stars that are actually below the horizon and clustered thick at the horizon level. However your science doesn't do that to the stars, only to the sun in your example there.
Why does the stars/celestial canopy not refract in the same way that your sun is supposed to according to your evidence?
