Is that right? If you're in New York at 1254' you're ONLY able to see 43.4 miles, so to somewhere around Princeton/West Windsor? And if you're in Philly at 900' feet you'd still ONLY be able to see 36.8 miles, so somewhere b/w Trenton and Princeton.

So really we'd still be a lot of miles (or feet) off of being able to see them as tiny dots on the horizon.
