Original Note:
It is unclear what "past the radius/circumference of the oblate/spheroid model..." [sic?] means, so it's difficult to understand why defraction is dismissed as the reason for this image. This page explains how refraction distorts images of objects over long distances at sea: https://aty.sdsu.edu/explain/atmos_refr/horizon.html
