True. It is almost nothing to look at. That colorful images of space we get from telescopes like "pillars of creation" are actually composite images gained at long exposures at different wavelengths from X-ray to radio. With you own eyes you will see a faint glow at best. Most stars will appear like a sun. More or less white blobs. Without reference you cannot tell their scale, even if they are thousand times bigger, without filters you cannot really tell their color. There might be an interesting light show close to the super massive blackholes with accretion discs and jets, but again, most of it is happening in gamma. The only hope is that life in Universe is so abundant, that you can just go to the space zoo looking at aliens.

He look like a bus driver in that outfit

I do find it arrogant that we assume all life needs oxygen and water like on earth.

A uniform. Which looks nothing like a Bus Driver (Air Force uniforms on the other hand…)

Reply to comment by dirtballmagnet in NASA is funding ideas for a Titan seaplane and faster deep space travel by fchung
so a telescope that is using gravitational lensing, with a nuclear propulsion device to reach the required spot in 15 years.
you are right does sound like science fiction! Wild to think about this.
direct imaging of planets 100 light years away?! my god, I hope to live to see this.

No, that’s the Space Force pictured. What in the holy fuck is that gen-gen wearing?

I can only assume you’re referring to the Air Force

Who knows - but geophysicists can model these possibilities.

I can’t trust a military service that looks like it doubles as Arlington Transit bus drivers.

That's actually quite neat, didn't think of that possibility.

The underground oceans might also be some kind of eutectic - say water and ammonia. It lowers the melting point to such an extent that it stays liquid at temperatures that would otherwise freeze water.

On Titan the "rocks" and mountains are made of mostly water ice. It could mean that Titan has water "magma" at depth with dissolved hydrocarbons. There are lots of possibilities, but of course, all speculation.

Radiation as high as 0.1 rad /sec on Mimas... we're not about to go dig there.

If you want to know what it would look like for most of the time drifting through the universe, take away everything you currently see in the sky. There you go.

So, if we secure our networks, can we get rid of Space Force and their ridiculous costumes?

That’s a pretty good comparison actually.

That's methane gas dissolved in water, Titan's "Oceans" are pure liquid hydrocarbons that are liquid because of the incredibly low temperature. Those two are not comparable at all.

Only for the traveler though, right? Like it might feel instant to you, but the universe will be how ever many light years you traveled older cause of time dilation, yeah?

Reply to Is there a list of live-streaming telescopes? by phil_sci_fi
I recently did a live stream of this comet here https://www.youtube.com/live/jse_UrD64uo?feature=share
I plan to do more live streams (maybe once a week) as soon as I finish repairing my other mount.
