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 👍
/s (you never know these days)
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?
It’s a timey-whimey thing.
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?
My back says there’s a difference
Well its shorter
I think you a word
Must be hard to can the sun. Shit’s hot and really big.
Neptune: tf are you talking about
The Oort Cloud: lolwut
Interstellar medium: fuck me, it’s cold
Sagittarius A*: (chuckles softly)
Andromeda Galaxy: tf is a sun
Laniakea Supercluster: yo is that the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall?? What up, homie!
Universe: gotta go fast
Can:
You can’t the whole sun.
Is that dangerous?
Me who can see Polaris 433 light years away.
V762 Cassiopeiae: am I a joke to you?
I mean I can’t pick it out of a starfield or navigate the ocean at night by it. So. Ya.
I guess you couldn’t have been an archer in ancient Rome.
I can the universe 40b light-years
Oh yeah? Well I can see colors!
No, billions of lightyears is the realm of telescopes.
Look at the sun for a while and you won’t see anything ever anymore.
Where did you learn that? Is that a real thing people are taught?
Just googled it now, and I’m seeing the “3 miles” number thrown around a lot.
Everest can be seen 200 miles away on a clear day
It’s 90 miles from Seattle to Mount Ranier and it absolutely dominates the horizon.
Yes, but for how long?
Teacher: not anymore
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.
Whats upto
Nvm looked it up, it’s like updog
It’s how far you can the sun.
