Yuri Gagarin’s Orbital View: In 1961, the first human in space described the "panoramic" beauty of the Earth’s horizon, sparking a global interest in capturing the curve of the planet.

Todays Challenge: "The Curvature View." Use a wide-angle lens or a panoramic sweep on a high bridge or hill. Focus on the horizon and try to emphasize the slight "bend" of the Earth’s edge in your frame.

Pano Inspiration: Seeing the Earth as a single, wide-format curve changed the way humans thought about borders and the environment.
