Can you see the stars from the bottom of a well in daylight?

So, by direct experiment with a similar geometry, the answer is no, you cannot see stars in the daytime at the bottom of a well.

How old is the light you see from a star?

The light that reaches Earth is 5,000 years old. That’s one of the hot young stars at lower right. Most of the stars we see with the naked eye at night are within a few hundred lightyears, although a handful are as far away as 2,000 lightyears.

What can you see in the sky if you look up at night?

the sky below earth’s atmosphere holds many interesting objects as well. We may not need a telescope to see them, but they are no less awe-inspiring. Readers are introduced to the dazzling phenomena of stars, galaxies, lightning, meteoroids, comets, auroras, rainbows, black holes, and even satellites and space junk.

Can you see satellites during the day?

Space Station is only visible when it’s illuminated by sunlight. During the day, the sky is too bright to see it and as we look up late at night, ISS flies through Earth’s shadow so there’s no sunlight falling on the station for us to see it.

How old is sunlight by the time it reaches Earth?

The sunlight we see is 170 000 years and 8.5 minutes old.

What can you see in telescope?

There are tons of amazing, fantastic and beautiful things you can observe in a telescope.

• The Moon. The Moon is the Earth’s only satellite and a wonderful object for observation.
• The Sun.
• Planets.
• Galaxies.
• Star clusters.
• Binary stars.
• Nebulae.
• Comets.

What are the things seen in the sky at daytime?

The Moon and stars are in the sky during the day, but we cannot usually see them because during the day, the Sun brightens the sky. The Sun is actually a star, and it is the closest star to the Earth.

What happens when a star is sucked into a black hole?

The black hole is surrounded by a ring of dust. When a star passes close enough to be swallowed by a black hole, the stellar material is stretched and compressed as it is pulled in, releasing an enormous amount of energy. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech 5. What would happen if you fell into a black hole? It certainly wouldn’t be good!

What would happen if you hit the edge of a hole?

If your body struck the edge of the hole at the incredibly high speeds you experience in a free fall, you would break every bone in your body. I certainly hope that you don’t want to end up as a skid-mark on the walls of the Earth’s crust.

Will the Earth be pulled into the Milky Way’s black hole?

There is no danger of the Earth (located 26,000 light years away from the Milky Way’s black hole) being pulled in. Future galaxy collisions will cause black holes to grow in size, for example by merging of two black holes.

What is the most distant black hole ever seen?

What is the most distant black hole ever seen? The most distant black hole ever detected is located in a galaxy about 13.1 billion light-years from Earth. (The age of the universe is currently estimated to be about 13.8 billion years, so this means this black hole existed about 690 million years after the Big Bang.)
