Jeep asked:


When you look into the sky, you don’t see galaxy next to galaxy. You see star next to star.

Even if you had a telescope, you would *still* see star next to star. So how is it possible, that this Hubble telescope sees galaxy next to galaxy?

Bit confusing…

john asked:


I got a telescope for Christmas and was wondering if there are any good sites near Perth, where I can the avoid the light pollution to get a good clear view of the sky preferably something easily accessible, as I don’t fancy carrying the telescope to the top of a mountain.

trever_0808 asked:


I just moved here and am wondering if there’s any kind of park or something in or around Minneapolis that is a great place to bring a telescope. From my yard I don’t have much sky to look at, and all the street and garage lights make it frustrating.
It would be cool to find somewhere more dark with wider skies where my friends and I could just spend a night with my telescope.
Any tips?
