Why We Can't See Stars in Space

At a certain point, due to Oxygen supply, Fuel, and a host of many other factors, Collins would have had no choice but to leave his two colleagues ; Commander Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, to their eventual tragic fete on the Moon, and return to Earth on his own!

Anyyone who lived in an Eastern Canadian or US city during the 2003 power grid failure has experienced this first hand. I always thought I still saw stars in the city until I saw the sky during a 3 night period without being diluted through the city's ambient light. It was literally breathtaking. Few of us truly see the night sky in the 21st century.

Come to Australia. I live just outside Darwin and see the night sky lit up often.

[@niko6248]

In older literature and text, you often hear people refer to the sky as the heavens. In my short time on this earth, the night sky has always been dark and uninteresting. If you wanted to find a star, you would have to stare at some point in space for a moment before being able to pick up on faint light. That is why it never made sense why people would call something as uninteresting as the sky, "the heavens". I now believe that if I could see the night sky in its full glory, I would also be calling it as such.

As a upcoming developer of a game where it takes places in space, you've defeated my dilemma I had about whenever should player see the stars outside spaceship windows or not. It seems like I would need to hide the distant stars if spaceship is near bright objects like planet or star, or the inside is well lit, but then reveal the beauty of space when player is in total darkness. Definitely a complex task technicality-wise, but I'd like to include as much as realism as possible for immersion purposes, which means needing to learn how things work in space, like from this video.

[@x-celsius5905]

The cameras from the Apollo missions werent good enough to see all those tiny dots. Even some cameras nowadays on earth have trouble seeing some. The biggest factor is light pollution from the sun. The sun is too bright to allow other stars to be seen easily, since there's nothing blocking sunlight in space. I think I remember hearing somewhere that when the astronauts of Apollo went behind the moon, they could see the most brilliant stars of all, since there was no sunlight to blot out the other stars.

The Hubble is looking out into the darkness of space where stars can be seen.

An astronomy professor of mine asked our class to think about about a version of this same question - why, if there are billions of stars in the observable universe, isn’t our night sky lit up with total brightness from them? The discussion led to his explanation that if we could position our eyes perfectly still for hours, our motionless retina would perceive more light that we now do. Steadily the weak light from stars at greater distances would register on the retina. I decided to test this out, and on a clear night I lay in my yard and remained as frozen as I could for several minutes. Sure enough a few more stars showed up.

Basically similar effect is when one looks at the north-western sky at midmorning on a cloudless day from around 45° N. The sun is at one's back yet one doesn't see the stars; one sees blue. This us due to the atmospheric scattering sunlight. Only very bright objects can be seen like the moon and jetliners plus perhaps Venus at dawn/dusk.

[@judithwood6419]

It’s the same thing like when you in the city and you don’t see too many stars because the city is so bright. also as a photographer lease with film, we had filters so we could adjust for the really bright light against the darker light so it would black out the bright area, allowing the darker area to be exposed, and you also have to have very long exposures on a tripod, etc., to see it because, the other items that are not as bright a long time to get the light on or you can use the same filters on a digital camera on the digital surface for it to record. Whereas to get the brighter light very short, very fast because the lights are bright it’ll be like looking at the sun eclipse the outer part you can see the inner part is black, and meanwhile, you can make yourself blind doing it. So you have to look at something. that looks black but is not black and if you look away and bring the dark light down and make it make it darker and the light and the darker areas make it light then you’ll be able to see it. It takes specialized filters and exposures.

@@weird3604 I am not flat earther. Flat earth mania was launched in 2015 over youtube to discredit fake cosmic missions. As for physics... get real. To this day nobody gives exact explanation of how and what is gravity. What are mechanics of gravity. Gravity is effect and not a force. Its combination of several factors. Mostly paramagnetism, diamagnetism and static charge attractions. And final component in the soup 🍲 is motion. Newtonian gravity is the correct. No such thing as spacetime warp like Einstein propose. There is actual connection, a string. Sun 🌞 holds earth by magnetism. Planet orbits are locked in magnetic equilibrium.

[@peteabrh-fairest9463]

On the moon, the process is a little different than on the Earth, however. Even though the sky was black when the pictures were taken, it doesn't mean it was nighttime. The moon doesn't have an atmosphere, and therefore even though the sun is still lighting up the lunar surface, there is no blue sky to be seen. The surface of the moon was "incredibly bright,". Therefore, when taking a picture, the astronauts would have to make the shutter speed fast and narrow the camera's aperture to get a clear photo. By preventing loads of light from coming in and blurring the shots, the stars were omitted simply due to their light not being captured.

[@Antsipovitch]

so because the astronaut is most important thing on photo nobody in 60 years didn’t try to capture stars?

[@RafaelMunizYT]

the space is so dark that we forget that when we're seeing the bright side of the earth we are in the daytime too, and just like on earth you can't see stars during the daytime

[@TC-1101]

The main reason why stars are invisible in space is that *during daytime, the Sun and Earth's light are so bright that they block the lights of stars in the background of space. Stars can only be seen without light from Earth and the Sun, especially at night-time.*

[@chrism3784]

technically light does not block light. just really bright light overwhelms our eyes which then doesn't notice much dimmer light coming from other directions
