    Amateur. In a dark location, on a clear night, I can see the Andromeda Galaxy, 2.3 million light years away.

      Triangulum Galaxy is a smidge farther away (~2.7Mly) and also naked eye visible with the right sky conditions and good eyes.

        Looks like a smudge until you unfocus your eyes anyway.

      But since the sun is 93 millions miles away it’s further because the number is bigger

        No you see some infinites are bigger than other. So light year is basically a larger infinity than millions. There’s a YouTube video about, look it up 👍

      Smh you say on a dark place but then you say light years. If the whole year is light then how do you expect anyone to see if it has to be dark?

      You’re not really seeing it, though, your seeing it’s distant past

        If you’re going down that road, you’re never seeing anything in its present form because even for an object a meter in front of you, all you’re really seeing is the object as it existed nano seconds in the past. Hows is a nano second in the past different from years in the past?

      Just googled it now, and I’m seeing the “3 miles” number thrown around a lot.

    tbf, looking at the sun from three miles away would be all that you could see.

    Y’know, if it didn’t instantly turn you into plasma.
