Re: Stars Are Thousands Of Times Closer Than They Appear
well, as i stand on earth, the stars appear to be in the sky, so i don't know how they could be a thousand times closer...
what did i miss?..why can't we see the stars when viewed from the moon?...is there photon excitation of our atmosphere which produces secondary emissions which we see as stars?

I think this is a spec that you might consider, with the messenger camera ccd. So perhaps you have the IR filter you want after all.
TH7888A package is sealed with a specific anti-reflective window optimized in 400-700 nm spectrum bandwidth.
I'm not sure what your point is here. All I've stated is that there is very little, if any, evidence (eye-witness accounts, photos in visible light alone etc.) that light can be seen in the visible range. I not sure that I understand why it isn't nor that it's even important, but the fact remains there just isn't any real evidence. As far as I can tell none of the photos provided here show stars in visible light spectrum alone.
I think you answered the question, thanks, and also Lloyd's question, of why this is relevant for this thread.
I'm not stating the stars are not there, but maybe visible light is shifted over extreme distances.I'm sure that could be relevant to distance measurements and probably many other measurements. Aardwolf

Please folks, no more on this topic.
IF one day it's shown that the stars are painted onto the ionosphere (or whatever) to trick us all and that MANY THOUSANDS of people have been able to keep this conspiracy secret for all these years, then we'll re-open the discussion.
The Hubble scope takes images in the visible spectrum all the time.
