So astronauts in space can see stars when they're in the Earth's or the moon's shadow? Also can stars be seen at night on Mars? Would be fun to know what the constellations of Mars look like...
Virtually exactly the same as on Earth. The distance from earth to mars is negligible compared to the "astronomical" distances to the stars. Take care.
Very well explained and useful for many. I would have opt for a more space music style, the music you used mislead me into thinking that there was an ad or a commercial running on the background somewhere...
To use another person's words, MEGA-DITTOS! to your statement. There are tons of videos on YT and elsewhere that are ruined by distracting background "noise" that doesn't enhance the usefulness of said videos whatsoever.
Despite what some scientists and astronaut's have stated .All 12 of the Apollo astronauts stated they saw no stars when they looked up into the vacuum of space from the nearside surface.. Remember too it was daytime on the lunar surface during the EVA's... And yes they did **photograph stars and other celestial bodies from the near side and were able to see stars in the shadow of the sun while passing around the far side in the command module **(as described in the above video)
Because the moon also has a daytime and a nighttime. They were there only during the daytime. But wait, the moon doesn't have an atmosphere....Doesn't matter, the Sun light was too bright for the naked eye to see stars which are faint during moon day time. You would have to use a telescope.
Since the far side of the moon is in perpetual night, such like the "side" of the moon facing us is in perpetual daylight, then is it possible to see stars from that side? If not, why not? Fascinating take. Thanks.
The far side is not perpetual night. Both sides of the moon get lit by the Sun. Both sides of the moon experience 2 weeks of sunlight and 2 weeks of darkness. When it's dark, you can see stars just like you'd do here on Earth.
@@Cosmoknowledge thanks for the answer. So for 2 weeks on the near side, there is darkness. Can stars be seen during those 2 weeks from the moon's 'nightsky'? If so, have photos been taken during that period? Sorry, I reread your answer and you confirm that you can see stars at the moon's nightsky. Have pics been taken of them?
@@santifoster1741 It does rotate. The time it takes for the Moon to rotate once on its axis is equal to the time it takes for the Moon to orbit once around Earth. This keeps the same side of the Moon facing towards Earth throughout the month. It's a special case of tidal locking called synchronous rotation.
@@MangoFandangoBB Some 178 photographs of stars were taken by the astronauts on the Apollo 16 mission from the lunar surface using the equipment and settings appropriate to this task, the Carruthers Camera. These photographs have been examined and researched by astrophysicists and astronomers for decades. Take care.
Its true about the camera exposure. The lenses, astronaut visors snd spacecraft windows were all tinted to protect from solar radiation that would fry cameras and astronauts. If a person was standing on the moon without looking through this tinting, the surface would be blindingly bright like being snow blind. The Earth would look white with a slight blue tint and clouds would be hard yo make out. Look how bright the moon is when directly overhead on a clear night, and that is looking at it through the atmosphere. It is way brighter in space!
Why did you say the moon walking was during the day? I assumed the side that faces us is always day and the dark side always night. Also bright light from one source wouldn’t prevent you from seeing stars. I go start gazing and it’s hard to find 0 light but still some light won’t stop you from seeing stars
I understand, it's just a case of thinking a little bit more out of the box. The sun does shine on the far side or unseen side, everyday, just like us.
I always ask them if they see stars at noon. And if the answer no I ask them if they see them with shades on. Still no.. So why would an astronaut on the dayside of the moon with his sunvisor down see any stars? 🤔 They never get it.
The only time I think you might be able to see the stars on the earth facing side, would be during, what we call a lunar eclipse. With earth blocking light to the moon, yes, I think I'm right?
I thought photons don't require a medium (like sound) in order to travel. Shouldn't the stars have been brilliant? (Never should've made "Eyes Wide Shut", that was blatant self deletion by people who can make it look natural.)
The reason you don't see stars on the moon pictures is that the pictures were made during the lunar daytime, meaning the Sun was so bright it outshined the other dimmer stars and of course, the camera wouldn't see them.
@@Wifgargfhaurh No, it would be extremely difficult for an astronaut to see stars with the unaided eye from the bright, daytime lunar surface. Look towards the Sun and all you will see is glare. Look away from the Sun and reflected light will still enter your eyes preventing them from adapting to detect starlight which is very dim. You must also remember that the Apollo astronauts also had a set of visors to reduce the brightness of the light entering their eyes. That said some Apollo astronauts on the later, longer missions did report being able to see some of the brighter stars after spending some time in the shadow of the LM. Take care.
That is one fact that people even today just do not get.. I think (personally) that these folks just like to stir the pot.. like flat earthers they like to create controversy.. Although there are some I am sure that just lack the ability to understand it all.. This was a good one Ardit.. carry on my friend!

I see all this silliness floating around from some folks.. But I usually pay it any mind.. It really isn't worth a lot.. At least to me..
Does any body know why in the moon landing photos flag sways as if there is wind blowing? thats too a controversial topic....... Thats because of the low gravity. The flag post was put with an impact, inertia would make the flag fly, low gravity would take time for that flag to settle🙂
It's not just low gravity, there is zero atmosphere on the moon so wind can't exist, you're still in "space" standing on the moon, unlike on earth's surface.

@@TOPHERROfficial The sky seems dark on the moon as the moon has no atmosphere to scatter the light. On Earth the sky appears as blue as the atmosphere scatters blue light better than the other wavelengths. Take care.
@@TOPHERROfficial Yes he polices even the Newest First comments, no atmosphere means seeing lots of stars; looking away from Sun... and rising the sunvisor :)
@@santifoster1741 "With the Earth.. we only see one side of the moon" The Earth is irrelevant to what time of day it is on the moon. Only the position of the sun relative to Luna matters. On the moon one day lasts 28 Earth days. So midday is 14 Earth days after lunar sunrise.
The debate about stars on the pictures is a strawman argument when the obvious is staring you in the face. How do you get rocks on the surface of a dusty terrain without leaving an impact crater or rolling trail? There is no air or flowing water on the moon! The answer is: That is not the surface of the moon!
Buddy, the moon has been around for billions of years. It has been hit with meteors and asteroids since the creation of the solar system. Impacts of these asteroids created craters, and these craters cannot go away because the moon has no atmosphere, unlike Earth.

You can. You just have to be inside a cave or something and stay sit for some minutes for your eyes to adapt to see some low-magnitude stars.
