I think it's hard to know. I would have thought the earth being round was "too concrete" to dispute, but here we are.

- noobly 5y agoWell, to be fair, you can't see curvature with your own eyes like you can an asteroid, at least not feasibly/easily. Your ancestors lived in a world where thinking it was round was stupid..
- addandsubtract 5y agoWould you be able to see an asteroid heading straight for the south pole if you're living in the northern hemisphere?
- noobly 5y agoGiven that the earth is constantly moving around the sun, probably? e.g, when the asteroid is really far away, like years, but still on track to hit the South Pole at some time, it could be viewable. But if the earth was stationary, then no, probably not.
