I've seen how [they] put a frame up against the window, so they can take these images that make the Earth "look like it's from space."

 

Was thinking about that aspect of the movie again, and then was thinking about Halo (and/or Larry Niven's "Ringworld" series).

 

How, in it, you can see the "ring" rising up, but never see the top of it since it's "behind the sun" from your perspective, standing on the ring (well, that's Ringworld; Halo just has them floating around in space, NOT around a sun, because reasons…).

 

Anyway got me wondering what Antarctica really looks like. Like, if we were high enough above the north pole, would we be able to see the ice of Antarctica, all around us on the edge?

 

What we've been led to believe, and what reality is, tend to be two (or more!) wildly different things.
