That's what the moon looks like here ATM. Maybe in a couple hours I'll go take my own pics.

We've had some really beautiful full moons around here this week. Now if only we could see stars once in a while :dry:

[DanB]

I was amazed when we wnet to Devon and at night you could actually see hundreds of stars. Can't see them round here at night that clearly,

[Barbarossa]

On a clear night, with no air-pollution or light-pollution, and no moon, you can see approximately 6000 stars with the naked eye :smilie4:

If there was no light pollution, you'd be able to see precisely zero stars.

Wait a minute :dry:

Barbie will tell me I'm wrong and then I'll explain, using the gift of English Language pedantry that I am, in fact, correct.

[Barbarossa]

You're wrong. :dry:




This I've got to see. :mellow:

[manker]

I'm trying to see the seven sisters, yeah? I can only see one blob of light due to the light pollution coming from the other stars.

Light pollution comes from stars too - therefore if there was no light pollution at all, you'd not be able to see any stars.

[100%]

no sun = no light
manker pawns

[Barbarossa]

I can't be held responsible for your poor eyesight. :dabs:

Anyway, the seven sisters are a cliff formation on the south coast between Brighton and Eastbourne. You must have been looking at teh Pleiades :smilie4:

:eyebrows: :no2:

[Barbarossa]

the sun is switched off at night, yet there's still light. How so? :blink:

[manker]

So I walk outside, yeah? Look up for the stars. Can't see them cos the sun is out.

I'm like, wtf, the conditions are otherwise perfect; in Snowdonia, clear sky, no air pollution, moon is haway. Must be the light pollution coming from the sun.

The sun is a star.

Light pollution comes from stars too. Fact.

[Barbarossa]

Don't you pull a busy-edit on me, you cad! :lol:

Not on a clear night, like wot I said :snooty:

yeah?

[manker]

yeah?Just making the very valid point that stars can be thought of as light pollution - therefore if there was no light pollution, you'd be able to see no stars.

For example, if there was a planet near to a distant star, you'd prolly no see it even with a powerful telescope cos of the light pollution caused by the star.

[Barbarossa]

OK, but even thought you're right, you're still wrong. :smilie4:

[manker]

You see, mank. 'Pollution' itself infers that it shouldn't be there, that the pollutant is interfering with something in its pure state - how can starlight be thought of as a pollutant when the whole point of looking for stars is to see their light.

It can't and that's why you're wrong.

Maybe if you were looking for a planet amongst the stars, I could see your point - but as it is, you're just talking pish
Fixed.

[Barbarossa]

:lol:

I did originally write something very similar to that, but less eloquent.

[manker]

:lol:

I did originally write something very similar to that, but less eloquent.Yeah, initially I did compose a flawless argument but then decided to open a pwnage window to give mere mortals a chance to pwn me.

:rolleyes:

[manker]

Not saying that you're a mere mortal, Barbie.

I've always thought of you as a demi-god underling of [B][O][T] and gemby!

[Gripper]

When we look at the stars we are time travelling,as we are looking at something hundreds,thousands,dare I say millions of years old.
Wow my brain just melted.

yeh I was going to say that, but forgot. So I'll travel back in time and say it again.

Its not really you that's time travelling then is it. It's the starlight.

[Gripper]

Yeah but..no but..yeah but..mankers a gif.
