I read the article and it still doesn’t make sense to me how the shadow appears this ginormous?
In: Physics
It makes the shadow big by making Jupiter look smaller. The fisheye lens exaggerates the curvature of the horizon. So, if you were to continue the curve out to form a circle, it would be much smaller than it would look from a narrower angle lens.
