  • The universe is an awe inspiring and mesmerizing place. We know stars, galaxies, nebulae, and nearly infinite points of light in the sky exist. We can look up from Earth and see them for ourselves with out own eyes. But why can't we see stars or anything at all in space when we're actually in space? Let's discuss exactly why this happens.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @michaeldeierhoi4096

      The Hubble is looking out into the darkness of space where stars can be seen. Around any of the outer planets Hubble would not see stars around the planets because the exposure is set to see the planet not the stars behind it. If you wanted to include the stars in a picture with a planet from Hubble the planet would be over exposed.
      If you saw a picture looking into the sun with stars also visible then it was altered picture. The stars were added in later in processing.

    When you are star gazing you make it a point to turn off lights around you and keep the light down as much as possible. Now imagine you are in full sunlight and the entire ground is pretty reflective too. Also even when it’s dark it take some work even with even modern cameras to take pictures of stars, you need to use bigger sensors/film and have to take long exposures, measured in not fractions of a second but SECONDS plural! With a crop sensors in DSLRs you basically need to take around 30 second exposure. Show even a tiny spot lit by sunlight and it would blow out the whole sensor at that exposure, making everything look white in the picture!

    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.
