Why is space dark? Why doesn’t the sun light up the solar system? #space #astronomy #nasa #science

It's disappointing this stuff still needs to be explained in 2025 😩

What is Space Force? Is it Really Real? #spaceforce #nasa #StarTrek

Because there are no atoms or molecules in space to retransmit the photons to your eyes! 🤷‍♂️

And this is why you don’t stair at the sun. Your ocular receptors will thank you taking care of them.

Think of a laser beam - invisible until it hits dust in the air. Space works exactly the same way! The vast emptiness between planets has nothing to reflect light back to our eyes.

To paraphrase, you can only see light that's coming at you not going away from you.

appreciate you

Great explanation. How dope that we have a blue sky?

Ty 🙏 well done

STIMULATED EMISSION

Has anyone else noticed the change in the color of reflection it's got a bluer tint in it or does my age have something to do with it the color just shifted from a more yellowish color to a more blue color maybe I'm crazy 🤪
