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

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

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?

[-] Akasazh@lemmy.world -2 points 5 hours ago

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

[-] Shard@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

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

[-] tee9000@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Well its shorter

[-] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 13 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] HereIAm@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

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 👍

Oh yeah, well I can see your mom. 2.3 million light years away. Because she's fat.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 12 hours ago

Fuckin' got them! Nice.

[-] Cyclist@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago

You can't see my mom, she's dead.

[-] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago

Of course she's dead, she's in space...

[-] Davel23@fedia.io 20 points 20 hours ago

She's 2.3 million light years away. We're seeing her in the past.

She's so fat that I'm genuinely concerned for her health.

Shes so fat im concerned for the higgs fields' health

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 9 hours ago

She’s so fat I can see what’s behind her

[-] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

She's so fat that we're worried her and the sun will form a binary star system.

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

I suppose we can calculate a minimum, if we look up the smallest angle of resolution for human eyes, and approximate her as spherical.

Just fat enough 😋

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

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 2 points 9 hours ago

I dont think 400000 times light can travel in a year of difference is "slightly further away"

[-] teft@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

What's a few hundred thousand light years between friends?

[-] comador@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Looks like a smudge until you unfocus your eyes anyway.
