I read the article, photo’s by NASA and still it’s a case of “Trust Us It Happened”.
I’m thin on the whole trust issue.
This is a long one and even if you believe or don’t believe, it’s interesting to see how easy it is to create “artificial reality”. From about an hour in is probably the best of the meat and potatoes.
Surely you people are not so dumb as to not recognize that the brightness of ambient light causes lens openings (iris) to admit less of the available light in order to maintain proper exposure.
This happens with your eyes as well as with cameras.
This is why we do not see stars in the daytime…the sun is just too bright for our eyes to admit enough light to see the weak light beams coming from the stars. That does not mean that the stars are not there.
Asar … that is not the reason. The reason is because of the scatter in the atmosphere (which is why the sky is blue, except in places like Beijing) is much brighter than the stars behind. If you arise and watch the morning star you can observe the fade-out of all the other stars as the sun rises.
This is true, it was an exoskeleton containing a man.
This also is true! However the ability of photographic equipment to resolve the exposure required to capture both the strongly-lit image of a man in a suit and the twinkling light-show behind him is enough reason to accept the lack of stars in these photos.
They claim the ISS is only orbiting 230 miles up from earths surface that’s why you can see it speeding around up there at night.
The Van Allen Belt is 1,000 miles up and that is where X-ray radiation is so strong it would fry humans.
Now I’m not an astronomer so I thought I’d go and ask one - this is what came back…
Stars do glow during the day, but we can’t see them because of the glare of sunlight. When the sun is up, the blue color in sunlight gets scattered all over the atmosphere, turning the sky the familiar bright blue color. This blue light is much brighter than the faint light coming from the stars, so it prevents us from seeing them.
Yeah, I just wish I was as smart as you Hasbara guys - you just seem to know everything abt everything, whereas I have always known that I only know one thing - that I know nothing
It reminds me of a quote from Mark Twain
The problem is Parliament is full of Remainers. Only yesterday, they voted to disallow prorogueing of Parliament at the end of October so Boris cannot take us out on no deal. That could be 1. Extremely dumb as how can you ever hope to get a deal if the other side knows you will not walk away or 2. A ploy to not get a deal and to hence stop Brexit. We could need a general election to get a good clearout. The Remainers would rather risk Corbyn than to see Brexit happen.
