The size of the flash and the subsequent delay of the sound of the explosion shows how big that payload was. By a rough calculation it’s about three miles away.

Somthing was bugging me about my post. I'm sure it was totally discredited in an episode of QI and lo it was. Actuality the Catholic Church didn't think the earth was flat. The issue the Catholic Church had with Gallilao was the earth wasnt the centre of the Universe. The idea of a flat earth actually appeared in the 19th century as a pamphlet against the Cathollic Church. Also Columbus knew the world was spherical he just thought ir was a lot smaller than it turned out to be. https://eu.azcentral.com/story/opinion/letters/2014/04/19/catholic-church-flat-earth-theory/7915677/
Eratosthenes was a smart cookie. He dug vertical shafts in the ground at measured very large distances apart and then observed the lapse in time between the sun illuminating the bottom of one shaft and the bottom of another. (A major undertaking travel wise.) From this he derived the radius and size of the earth and even its weight. He was very accurate too.I thought it was Aristotle.
Google tells me it was a bit of Pythagoras, a bit of Aristotle, and a pinch of a guy called Eratosthenes who I'd never heard of.

PS EDIT. Just googled to check my memory of ancient history. Not quite right but good enough.
