8 light years away? You mean 8*3*10^8? Yeah, pretty close. Our perception of stars, and planets is not perfect, since space isn't as empty as you think it is.

That's really, really close in terms of cosmic distance.

I'm well aware of all the gas and dust. Spectroscope contaminants.
Eli Cook
Isn't that just the mirror in the middle?
Blake Evans
the nikon p900 is no pissant
Michael Campbell
Yes. It's how I knew it was a telescope
Correct. The center is the parabolic mirror being out of focus.
OP is a superfaggot.

Its all done with mirrors. Were under a dome.

Sigh...
When we want to take a picture of a star; we cover up the direct line to the lens to kill light-pollution of the rest of the picture; otherwise you get either a pinpoint or a large ill defined object.

If the rest of the world thinks you are fucking retarded, it's because everyone can tell that you aren't studying anything. You have thousands of years of research from people smarter than you, and you reject it in favor of something that just sounds cooler because you don't actually care about the truth, you care about being entertained, and space is more boring than you'd like it to be.
Mason Smith
My manually adjusted antiquated Empire 373 72.5mm refractory telescope has shown me a wonderful set of images of Jupiter and the Galilean Moons. Best part is with a steady hand, unlike your shit show pictures...,they're in focus.
Noah Robinson
That's your telescope out of focus you fucking dumb fucking dumb fucking dumb fucking dumb fucking Faggot
Joseph Bell
you are such a self righteous faggot it hurts. why do you care so much if someone wants to believe something silly? unless you can do the math (you cant) you have no business telling other people theyre stupid for blindly believing things.
Levi Thompson
Something interesting you may want to know about reflector telescopes that central bit that hang out in front of the mirror what has the eye piece attached, that can degrade the image, your pictures clearly have that center piece and supporting struts in focus you dolt.
ITT: OP posts a retarded picture and then ditches thread when real astronomers come in.
Jeremiah Stewart
>Defocuses telescope
THIS IS WHAT STARS REALLY LOOK LIKE
you're a fucking moron dude
Jack Hill
>Why do you care so much if mental illness becomes normalized
gee I dunno, maybe because conspiracy theorist retards lead to parents of the sandy hook massacre getting death threats for being part of a "false flag operation"?
You're the one supposedly searching for the truth faggot, do the research properly and don't put the burden on people who disbelieve every crackpot theory you can throw at them

tfw I can walk outside right now with a telescope and watch planets rotate and move. tfw every morning and evening i can watch the sunrise and sunset tfw im a shill for not believe flat earth and other shitty conspiracy theories.

Focus your damn telescope man.

Protip: frequency and vibration are the same thing. Proprotip: Think in terms of curvilinear coordinates and mass/energy.
Lincoln Lewis
You can even fucking see the supports of the secondary mirror, this is so fucking retarded.
How to do this: slap a circle in front of any camera lens (smaller that the lens) and make a photo of any distant light out of focus.
Gabriel Clark
That's what I was thinking. You can even see the spars holding it in place.

Benjamin Green
Everything is in focus
Jace Jenkins
No they are not.
Distant points of light not in focus take shape of the ANY camera/lens hole shape (the whole bokeh stuff in photography). Reflector telescopes have secondary mirror in front of the main mirror, which (with the mounting wires) you can see when you defocus.
Christian Jones
Everything is in focus
Sebastian Price
Vibrations do have frequency, but they aren't inherently the same. Just sayin'
Jacob Carter
Take any camera, slap a paper shape on the lens. Defocus on any distant light source - bam you'll get the same image.
Angel James
Fair point, but there's no need to distinguish between them: vibrations have frequency therefore frequency is a more general concept than a vibration. So really only frequency needs to be mentioned.
Levi Morris
Nigger.
Ever have a telescope as a kid? Ever see Jupiter and Mars in a properly focused telescope? They look exactly like how were told.
Hell you don't even need a telescope, a good set of binoculars will do it on a clear night. You're a fucking retard OP.
Plus if that's how the stars actually really looked and it was a conspiracy there's no way (((((They))))) would let you own anything that could prove it.
Oliver Smith
Wow. A out of focus blob You can go out at night with a properly calibrated telescope and prove yourself a fucking idiot
The. Re-collimate your telescope you fucking troglodyte. I don't have a reflector anymore but the shitty Celestron I had did that when it was A. out of focus or B. The mirror was maladjusted. The stars should look like a sharp pinpoint of light. You can see this with a pair of binoculars.
Dylan Morales
Because it's cheap!
You want a good telescope that can see distant galaxies? Pony up a couple million or so.
Caleb Baker
Those 3 are donut bokeh. These 2 are atomic health powerups from duke nukem 3d. They restore 1 health, and if you are already at or above 100% health they allow your current health to exceed that number.

Stay scientific
Caleb Ward
That's bullshit, Mars would block your view before you saw any movement on Jupiter.
Matthew Parker
Also basically this. Cassegrain and Newtonian optical systems use a donut shaped mirror as their objective element and have an fixed open aperture.
When light isn't focused through a lens point sources of light will take the shape of the aperture. (in the case of mirror optics a donut shape). The hole in the middle of the donut is the shadow of the secondary reflector and those 4 spokes are the struts that hold the secondary reflector in place.

In the context of the quote there was no need to mention vibration, as frequency is a more general concept. Problem?
Easton Reyes
Actually it's mostly people delighting in watching how everyone shits their pants over FE threads constantly.
Isaac Foster
flat earth is the easiest provable conspiracy
go prove to yourself the earth curves at 8 inches per mile squared
just go do it, should take about what five minutes right? seven minutes tops? right? bet you wont :)
Chase Diaz
do you envision the solar system as all the planets literally in a line? that isn't how it works my dude
Kayden Clark
You know that Mars and Jupiter are at different distsnces from the sun right? Even if they were moving at the exact same speed Mars has less distance to move before it completes it's orbit so it would just fly right past Jupiter.
Think, why do the runners on the outside track start ahead of the runners on the inside?
Zachary Hughes
Agree with you. Space is total nonsense.
Lucas Russell
*ring ring* hey dude there living on the other side of the earth, can you tell me if the sun shines? It does? It's night over here.
