I believe all of the missions are technically fatal and people know that there’s a high chance they’ll be in a bad situation with no way out if they choose that profession.

It might slow our progress by a few months to take time to mourn and rest, but I’m sure we wouldn’t be stopped by that. We haven’t before, we won’t again.

fan ever since Firefly

loved him in rogue one

The way the light hits that terminator topography is gorgeous.

I dunno, I think that boudoir look suits those curves.

Starlinks in their orbits can be distinguished from an Iridium or other satellites, I suppose. But in the days after their launch Starlinks travel in a line as they slowly climb to their designated orbits, eventually spreading out. A lot will be seen in a single line soon after launch and later there'll be only one or two visible at a time, very spaced out.

Probably quite a few. The image description on the website gave a single frame of the exposure, and judging by the quality compared to the final image, there was probably a lot of these stacked on top of one another.

Are you saying that the light we see on Earth on a full moon night is the approximate amount of light we would see coming from our sun if we were to stand on Pluto?

How far away would it visible - assuming a planet has an atmosphere like earth and whatever alien had similar vision to humans?

First time that I learn about this. Interesting 👏

>lot of darkness, grey clouds and masses, with indistinct lumps everywhere

This is what I assumed, but I’m into photography so I know that majority of photos people post are enhanced to being out colors

It’s just a train of star link satellites. It’s not the end of the world, but I hate those things, that idiot is ruining the night sky for the rest of us.

Depending on the view point from another distant world, the Sun would either be in the constellation Capricornus or if it's from an Alpha Centauri world, Cassiopeia's outcast regions.

It will be quite something if China end up 'winning' the current 'space race' by building a permanent hub on the Moon, or getting a person to Mars, before anyone else after coming from behind like this. NASA is back on a 'war' footing now though, and Russia is a little distracted right now, so let's see what happens. Would be better if everyone just cooperated, but that ship has absolutely sailed for the near future.

but how would that be possible? considering it would be by far the closest. is it just a case of bigger stars making more light even if there farther away?

NASA actually just tested this but not with a nuke, they launched a satellite at one at the impact caused a change in trajectory for both objects

Pfff big deal, people be taking pictures of Jupiters moons with their cell/scopes

It’s a bad time to ask that question, Sol is in retrograde.

Cool!

You might benefit from a moon filter and a collimator to improve the image.

Cheers
