[@paradisegunshot]

we can do it, but there's no real need for it. we pretty much got any sort of information we want about the moon, so NASA is investing more time and resources in other things in space.

[@paradisegunshot]

***** of the moon? i guess so, but it's pretty much the same, nothing really to look for. it's like a big desert with some caves here and there, some explored, some not. i personally don't believe that the moon hides too many surprises for humanity.

***** we can't, the nearest star is Mars and it takes 2-3 years just to get there. let alone visiting other galaxies (or the milky-way), we still don't have the technology for such a journey.

[@BrianBattles]

Obi Wan Cannoli There's no "dark side of the moon", there's the side that faces away from Earth but it gets just as much sun as the side we see, for half of each month.

[@digitalblasphemy1100]

Why can't we take images of the moon with hubble and get this kind of resolution? We can and we have. And the only dark places on the moon are in the deepest craters on the poles of the moon. The dark side is just a name but it receives just as much solar radiation and sunlight as the near side. And there are many reasons to go back to the moon but unfortunately it's not up to NASA. Out of 100 or so project line items entered by NASA each year, only about 5% actually get approved for funding.

The crazy thing too is that some dots are probably composed of a few stars, then there are others that are probably hidden behind various gas clouds... The scope of a single galaxy is rather mind boggling. Then compound that with the amount of galaxies we've simply observed... We are constantly discovering more and more galaxies as our deep space imaging technology advances. More recently scientist are realizing that they greatly underestimated the amount of galaxies exist, JUST within our observable universe. Millions became Billions. And that's just what we can see of the Universe. I can't ever stop thinking about it, but I'll never comprehend the scale of our universe.

So what I want to know is about how far apart those stars are to each other. I know it varies, including g how close or far from the galactic center, but let's say on average about where they started the zoom in.

[@CinemaAgricultural]

most of us stars on average are about 5 light years away so yea now look at it with that in mind.

[@JT-rx1eo]

@@CinemaAgricultural So the star "density" or average separation between stars in that patch of the Andromeda galaxy is similar to where earth's sun is in the Milky Way galaxy? I say that because the distance between our sun and the nearest other star is about 4 light years. Is that 5 LY estimate a scientific calculation or a guess?

[@CinemaAgricultural]

@@JT-rx1eo it's a calculation as on average stars are 4-5 light years away from each other. now that spot on Andromeda may be different but the only time the distances are changed is in a star cluster or if you are further out of the galaxy.
