Per Aspera Ad Astra @grzyb2063.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Too late to explore the Earth, too early to explore the universe. 49711
Per Aspera Ad Astra @grzyb2063.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Actually you can see a galaxy with the naked eye if you go to a rural area. Our galaxy 😅 and it looks similar to this but without those dark clouds. 000
Per Aspera Ad Astra @grzyb2063.bsky.social · 16/11/2024If we were closer to it we would just see a bright haze from all the stars. None of the cloud like features. 000
Per Aspera Ad Astra @grzyb2063.bsky.social · 16/11/2024A zoom in from a large part of the night sky to The Andromeda galaxy. Those stars might seem dense, but actually the distance between them is similar to the distance we have to our neighboring stars. 2765

Per Aspera Ad Astra @grzyb2063.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Based on the star’s size, brightness and the distance of the planet from it, we can simulate how a sunset looks like from the surface of the planet. 0160

Per Aspera Ad Astra @grzyb2063.bsky.social · 16/11/2024That is the M51 galaxy captured by James Webb telescope. The visuals have been enhanced for things that aren’t visible to the naked eye like dust. 010
Per Aspera Ad Astra @grzyb2063.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Still craving an explanation how that would happen 😂 0131
Per Aspera Ad Astra @grzyb2063.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Earth millions of years ago was like a whole different planet with different continents, temperature, climates and atmosphere, and amazing creatures like dinosaurs walked around. If we didn’t know dinosaurs existed, they would be as alien and absurd as anything sci-fi writers could come up with. 😄 010

Per Aspera Ad Astra @grzyb2063.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Doubt is part of science, but at some point everyone must base their other theories on solid grounds. Space pictures, especially of nebulae are often colored to best represent the details that can’t be seen with the naked eye. Like dimly lit dust. Galaxies can be easily captured by home telescopes. 030
Per Aspera Ad Astra @grzyb2063.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Some in my last map post had trouble reading the more detailed map. Just fly in the general direction of the Orion Spur if you want to come home. 090

Per Aspera Ad Astra @grzyb2063.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Welcome lovely new followers! Take a seat and relax and forget all your problems, wondering what could be out there. 😌 315715
Per Aspera Ad Astra @grzyb2063.bsky.social · 15/11/2024The details are 100% real from a real space telescope. The colors might not always be exact in space pictures, especially in nebulae, but scientists color them to the best of their abilities to most accurately represent things, that wouldn’t be visible to the human eye. Like dust that isn’t lit. 2181
Per Aspera Ad Astra @grzyb2063.bsky.social · 15/11/2024We’ll need warp drive first 😉 we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. 190
Per Aspera Ad Astra @grzyb2063.bsky.social · 15/11/2024We are in a similar galaxy right now, as one of those microscopic dots. 0393
Per Aspera Ad Astra @grzyb2063.bsky.social · 15/11/2024In about 230 million years our sun will complete a full orbit around the center of the milky way, but individual stars in relation to us change way faster than that. After tens of thousands of years constellations will be unrecognizable. 😬 3272

Per Aspera Ad Astra @grzyb2063.bsky.social · 15/11/2024This one was taken using a normal phone, with long exposure on, in a rural area. Anyone can capture such a beautiful night sky 🙂 120
Per Aspera Ad Astra @grzyb2063.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Actually if we survive long enough as a species, Andromeda will come to us 😅 In about 4.5 billion years Andromeda will collide with our galaxy. This sounds pretty bad for us, but due to the distance between stars probably none of the trillions of stars will collide. 2190
