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:

:lol: clever! :smilie4:

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,

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.

You're wrong. :dry:




This I've got to see. :mellow:

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.

no sun = no light
manker pawns

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:

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

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.

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.

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

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.

: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:

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!

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.

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