If its not refraction what is it? ;-) and yes it seems it is fuzzy at the edges for the obvious reasons.

I am interested in answer although I don’t think it is refractive index we are talking about. As yu say one is transmission and the other reflection if I have it right. I think that in the case of the mirror the image seen in a photograph would be sharp to the edges while the image in the ball would not. But this is conjecture so maybe someone can elucidate on this item.
