Have you gone 13.6 km up there to verify it's not there?
13.6km is 44,619ft.
So nearly every time one flies commercial, yes, since cruising altitude is between 30,000 and 40,000 feet. I think a large triple-star system would be quite visible at that point.
I imagine if you were 13.6 km from a star you would either burn up or fall into the star's gravity well.
Or both…briefly.
That's high. I didn't know they went that far up.
Don’t worry! The people at Boeing building the aircraft are high as well.
