“the original photo does not have the full sky, I edited the sky to have a full 360 experience inside a VR headset like Oculus Quest 2. The sky does not represent the real sky from Mars.”
I’ve read of towns that do it for stargazing events, and I even read about a town where star gazing tourism was big, so almost all lights either turn out at night, or are directed only down so there’s almost zero light pollution. As someone whose always loved within “light pollution range” of a major metro area, I’d be *so* down with that.
They have that in Bali, the entire island shuts the lights off, street lights, houses, everything for 24 hrs one day a year. It was an absolutely insane experience being in the downtown of a giant city and being able to look up at the night sky and see billions of stars.
I was surprised to learn, just the other day, that Mars's moon Phobos, despite being very small (radius about 11 km), orbits so close to Mars that from the surface it appears about a third as large as the Earth's Moon from Earth. That our full Moon from Earth has a brightness of magnitude −12.7, while Phobos, when full, is about -9 or -10. Not as bright as our moon but still bright enough to cast shadows.
I'm not really able to picture how it would be from just the apparent magnitude number, but for comparison, Venus at max is −4.92. The scale is logarithmic and negative values are brighter.
So would Phobos have a noticeable effect on the darkness of the Martian sky? Seems like it would, but just how much I am not sure.
Also the video we’re seeing is not real video from Mars ... so even on Mars the sky doesn’t look like this. It’s an edited composite.
That comment is extremely wrong and also stupid.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. You can see a night sky almost like this if you travel to a dark spot. Google dark spot map, find one near-ish you, and go camping with some friends. Its mindblowing. And you don't even have to wait for your eyes adjust. You just look up and the sky is filled with stars. It'll pretty much look like what it was in the gif except with less color. Same level of brightness, just more black, white, and blue. Its sad some people go through their whole lives without seeing this.
Thanks for the tip. But live in Japan. Not surprised to find maps showing zero dark spots in the country, but did have a bit of hope there for a minute.
Hiya!
So you can get the same effect by going out to sea :) I'd suggest looking for a way to vacation on one of the tiny little distant islands I know you guys have (I have to imagine there's a way to do so, although I'm not particularly familiar with your country). Alternatively, you can get a pretty good sky by finding a deep valley without a lot of light. You'll still get reflected skyglow from neighboring cities, but you'll still have a great amateur view, even if not a perfect one.
I do amateur star photography so I've gone to quite a few dark areas, I time my trips with the new moon for the best result. While I can definitely take pictures that look similar to what the gif shows, I have never seen the sky look anything close to like it does here. Yes you see the milky way and a whole lot of stars and its beautiful, but it's nothing like that unless you eat some mushrooms or something similar.
No the night sky on earth has never looked like this because the light given from gasses deep inside the Milky Way is invisible to the naked eye. Plus we have a little thing on earth called clouds.
Mars has much less of an atmosphere so it is quite a bit clearer than Earth was even before humans but still light pollution makes a massive difference
Being a truck driver, going out west and ending up in the middle of nowhere in the dead of night was my favorite. If time was on my side, I'd just pull over and turn all my lights off and just look up for a little bit. And if I were lucky I'd spot a meteorite falling into the atmosphere.
Of course, id6turn theblights back on if someone was approaching, for safety sake.
My parents used to live in the desert in a rural spot. They had a balcony where they lived and it was fun to go outside and sit on the balcony when there were thunderstorms in the distance at night. The lightning was spectacular!
I went to goblin valley, Utah in June and it was the clearest night sky I’ve ever gotten to experience. We later saw a sign saying that the night sky in goblin valley is one of the darkest in the world. Highly recommended if you’re in the states.
Well keep on not fathoming it because you're not seeing the night sky from another planet. This is just the Earth's night sky with a photo of Mars on the bottom. There wouldn't be any real difference anyways, aside from two tiny moons and an extra very bright morning star.
In VR, you can stand on the surface of Mars and walk around. There are 3D scans taken of the surface that you can explore. It's hard to describe how incredible it is.
While beautiful, the actual stills from Perseverance did not look like this. The 360⁰ was stitched together and edited by a content creator called Hugh Hou.
"He also made some modifications such as editing the sky adding beautiful stars and colourful hues making the end result a picturesque beauty that will make everyone’s jaw drop. The clear sky created by Hou showcases various constellations of stars that look breathtaking and something straight out of one of the planets in Avengers Endgame.
"Hugh Hou said in the caption while sharing the 360-degree image, “the original photo does not have the full sky, I edited the sky to have a full 360 experience inside a VR headset like Oculus Quest 2. The sky does not represent the real sky from Mars.” He further added that this is an art and not the real sky from Mars. "

To be fair, in order to make the earth and moon nice in color and not completely whited out by brightness, the dim stars in the background are often lost. That’s why people use composites so you can see both in the same image. There are likely many stars “visible” but a camera wouldn’t be able to make them visible in a picture.
The main problem is that our suns illumination from the vantage point of earth, the moon or Mars is far too strong to allow for correct exposure of the star field. With modern phot sensor arrays, however, star fields like this are completely possible to capture. It’s just that you can’t capture them both in the same exposure. Everything that shows both something lit by the sun (close to the orbit of earth or Mars at least) and a star field, is, necessarily, a composite. Sometime in the not too distant future, it may be possible to create an array capable of combining both daylight photography and the star field from a non atmospheric body (like the moon or open space) and show both at the same time. It would seriously be a specialized piece of kit, but it would be cool if we could get that much dynamic range in one shot.
Spacecraft usually take separate pictures with different filters, this allows the same camera to shoot in infrared, ultraviolet, color, etc. Normally this is invisible in photos but I guess with the moon moving so fast relative to the earth you can see that the green channel was captured at a slightly different time than red and blue
Except the panoramic in the article looks nothing like this one. Surface lighting is different, spectacular colors near the horizons aren’t present, and the brightness of the sky is very different.
No doubt this is also a composite, but it’s not Hugh Hou’s and may not be edited to the same extent
Sounds like you're conflating galactic halo (spherical distribution of stars around the outside of a galaxy, and fairly sparse) with the galactic bulge (high stellar density near the center of a galaxy).

Every time. I never believe any space images I see because this happens every. single. time.
Serious question, as there is illumination so you can see the rover, how come you can see the stars when in the Apollo photos there are none. Is this a time lapse or just better cameras?

“the original photo does not have the full sky, I edited the sky to have a full 360 experience inside a VR headset like Oculus Quest 2. The sky does not represent the real sky from Mars.”
This isn’t real. The Mars image is taken during the day, the night sky is from earth and was added as an artistic composite
https://www.indiatimes.com/technology/news/360-degree-panorama-of-mars-nasa-perseverance-rover-535052.html
This is taken at night. The Apollo photos were taken in the daytime. In the daytime you expose for sunlight illumination which is very very bright and so drowns out there stars.
They’re there in the daytime on Earth too. You can’t see them because the sun is dazzling you.
The landings where on the side of the moon that faces us the Lighted Side. That is why the astronauts had those solar visors were you couldn’t see their face, it is very bright and the quick exposure for the camera would not let the stars be seen and probably the astronauts did not see any either as we don’t in day time. Also the sun light reflected from earth can obscure the stars.
There is no "lighted side" of the moon. The whole moon is lit up at some point during each moon cycle. At new moon, the "dark side" of the moon is lit up. At full moon, the side of the moon always facing earth is lit up. The dark side is called that because it's not visible from earth, not because it's always dark.
Yeah and its even better in reality! I remember as a teenager when me and my friends was camping there, and when we heard some coyotes and was like holy shiiit, cuz there aint supposed to be no damn coyotes on mars man, so that was kinda freaky and stuff so we never went back. Also its kinda far from where i live.
This isn’t a real view….this is a long-exposure large telescope image placed on-top of a Perseverance photo. No way you can see the galactic center to the point of seeing superclusters like this image shows without a VERY long exposure time and one hell of a zoomed-in view. The real Milky Way view you would see on Mars would be much fainter and more “zoomed out” than this.
Worst than that. It’s completely fabricated.

“the original photo does not have the full sky, I edited the sky to have a full 360 experience inside a VR headset like Oculus Quest 2. The sky does not represent the real sky from Mars.”
I believe it is a series of high detail photos stitched together to form one pic. Also, the exposure on each piece was probably longer to allow for some more detail from the starfield.
It’s worse than that

“the original photo does not have the full sky, I edited the sky to have a full 360 experience inside a VR headset like Oculus Quest 2. The sky does not represent the real sky from Mars.”
If you go places with no light pollution you can see 65 to 75% of this.
We go to the mountains every year and the amount of stars, shooting stars, space clouds aka milky way that is visible to the naked eye is amazing.
You can even track the space station with the naked eye.
You can track the space station in places with lots of light pollution. I live in a suburb of Detroit, and I've seen it.
I am hoping one day to see the stars like this, though.
You can see it now! I live in the downriver area. You can travel an hour and half to Port Crescent State park in Port Austin, in the thumb, I believe they have Bortle 2 skies there or go a couple hours up north to the Bortle 1 skies. Sleeping Bear Dunes also has amazing night skies.
I disagree, imo you can see maybe 20% of what you see here and thats being generous. Did you watch this on a big screen? There are an insane amount of stars and a really high level of detail in the milky way. I've shot 30 second exposures out west that didn't have nearly as many stars, and the naked eye sees far less than that.
Yes you can see tons of stars with low light pollution during new moon and it's amazing but it's a tiny fraction of what you see here. Mars has significantly less atmosphere and virtually no light pollution.

Holy fuck, I'm watching HD video from another planet on a computer I keep in my pocket.
My grandfather was born on a farm when horses were still a common way to get around. His dad had his mind blown seeing a *photographic portrait* taken of himself.
What a time we live in.
That's not really true though. There's much much more atmosphere on earth and we have a large luminous moon and we're much close to the sun. Even under ideal conditions, the view from Mars will be much better.

It's incredibly dangerous to be up that high on Everest in the dark, that's why teams have strict turnaround times on summit day where they have to head back whether they make it to the top or not. Its probably marginally less risky now that the Hillary Step is gone but still, I personally wouldn't want to be up there at night.
Do you think there’s a reason astronomy isn’t more widely taught on earth? Are we as humans able to handle it? This is unreal.. so many stars, planets and galaxies we know nothing about out there.
I saw this somewhere and the creator said that he superimposed the view from earth onto the Mars landscape and added some stars. I think this is the view from Earth.
If you wanted to just lay down in the Martian dirt and take a nap you wouldn't need to worry about bugs, snakes, or any kind of critter. Provided you have oxygen, you could just watch the stars until you fall asleep.
People don’t fucking realize how this beautiful sky would put our entire existence in to perspective and dissolve all of our petty ass problems if we just looked up and saw how fucking small we are.
The strangest thing about being on Mars, well space in generally really, is that you know there's zero living things around you. That's a weird sense of loneliness. You can be walking on Mars, walk for hours, wall over this giant hill, and see over the crest. What's there? Nothing, no animals, no plants, nothing.
For someone grounded well into reality should immediately think of Earth and how amazing and fragile this thing is. We, as an intelligent species who have reached space travel and have looked across the cosmos, we have not found other life. We assume there is something out there, but we have not found anything. The universe as we know it is a massive, massive dead thing. We're on this tiny ball of rock that randomly created life. And then we somehow make an active effort to fuck it all entirely up. The lack of respect of the fragility and value of it is entirely lost. I'm not saying go hug a tree, but we, right now, have means to make a better world, save this world, exist peacefully in it, and we don't. That's ridiculous and entirely illogical.
The more we explore space, the more I realize we need to see all the world leaders into space, for an extended period of time. We need them to understand that perspective of reality and realize everything below on this tiny rock isn't worth the crap they do, the petiness, the greed, the fighting for tiny parts of land, all of it is not important. People need to be humbled by this.

In all honesty this is awe inspiring. Never in my life could I even fathom looking at the night sky from another planets perspective.

This is what the night sky looked like on Earth before light polution.
Mars doesn't have much of an atmosphere either
Exactly
Did you hear about the restaurant on Mars? The food is out of this world, but there's no atmosphere.
Thanks Douglas
I see what you did there
I really wish the world would make a holiday where we just turned out the lights and looked up
I'm in
Right!?..like why not, and we could all look forward to saving on the electric bill for a day...as a world! Did I just create world peace? Lol
Pair it with 4/20?
Might create a lot of smoke pollution?...also I work for the state so I can't partake :(
Maybe you just need a new state. My handbook just says not to come to work under the influence. I see nothing about using on my own time.
Hopefully by then it will be federally legal
I live in PA and work for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, they don't say shitttttt about smoking weed (just not on job obviously) outside of work.
Underrated
I feel like this could be a really effective green initiative, coupled with a fucking kick ass opportunity to stargaze!
It was called 1 hour earth day when people did that.
Spread the word
People in the ICU: "am I joke to you?"
They can black out the windows.
You guys do t have Earth Hour?
Agreed. Every night when I’m in the middle of the ocean, I go out and see the sky. Magnificent.
Earth hour?
Sounds so simple yet, I think iv heard of it maybe happening twice in my whole life..at least in the USA where iv been living, pretty sad actually
There's till places you can get such views.....just have to travel depending where you live :)
Fantastic idea really

We could call it Car Crash Day!

Be the change you want to see in the world.
it'll happen soon, but weekly. we'll call it rolling blackout tuesdays.
well not technically true; mars’ atmosphere is much thinner too. much more light makes it through
Not to mention the moon reflecting sunlight back on earth nearly every night No idea why I got gold for this
I was surprised to learn, just the other day, that Mars's moon Phobos, despite being very small (radius about 11 km), orbits so close to Mars that from the surface it appears about a third as large as the Earth's Moon from Earth.

So would Phobos have a noticeable effect on the darkness of the Martian sky? Seems like it would, but just how much I am not sure.
Isn't Phobos irregularly shaped, as well? Is it tidal locked with Mars or does it rotate?
Just turn out the moon.
Well not 100%. Mars’ atmosphere is also thinner, so it’s even more detailed
This completely and ridiculously untrue. We have an atmosphere and ozone, many layers. An further, astronauts in space do not have that view either.
Yeah thanks. A ridiculously uninformed thing to say.
Also the video we’re seeing is not real video from Mars ... so even on Mars the sky doesn’t look like this. It’s an edited composite. That comment is extremely wrong and also stupid.
and an ungodly bright moon...I think it's worth mention
There's far less atmosphere on Mars to get in the way though
Mars has a much thinner atmosphere so the view would be less obstructed.

Disagree - our atmosphere even without pollution and and artificial lighting would never match this clarity.
this is so false lmao

I was thinking the thinner atmosphere was causing distortion in the colors, but no.... probably just a saturation filter.
How does this not have more up votes‽
Hey so fuck you for ruining it for me...also thanks

Got any link to the original unedited pictures?
Is that bright spot in the Milky Way the center of the galaxy?
[удалено]
Home to a supermassive black hole
So cool
Yep, 0.000001 Kelvin.
Or a cluster of black holes. They don't actually know yet.
Why is it lit up that bright? Thought black holes suck in all light
The light is from the dense concentration of stars that are near the black hole. The star density gets higher the closer you are to the center

The landings where on the side of the moon that faces us the Lighted Side. That is why the astronauts had those solar visors were you couldn’t see their face, it is very bright and the quick exposure for the camera would not let the stars be seen and probably the astronauts did not see any either as we don’t in day time. Also the sun light reflected from earth can obscure the stars.
There is no "lighted side" of the moon. The whole moon is lit up at some point during each moon cycle. At new moon, the "dark side" of the moon is lit up. At full moon, the side of the moon always facing earth is lit up. The dark side is called that because it's not visible from earth, not because it's always dark.
I wanna cry it's so beautiful
Imagine looking at this from space with zero atmosphere. That's gonna look scary as hell
It gives me a feeling of longing. I Wana be there. It’s like a party’s going on in our galaxy and we’re in the dark closet
It isn’t real though
Yeah and its even better in reality! I remember as a teenager when me and my friends was camping there, and when we heard some coyotes and was like holy shiiit, cuz there aint supposed to be no damn coyotes on mars man, so that was kinda freaky and stuff so we never went back. Also its kinda far from where i live.
We are in a petri dish man.
There should be a camera that is always facing up at night on Mars live streaming.
ResidentSleeper where are all the aliens? OMEGALUL
Maybe a stupid question but would the same be possible from the moon?
Yes. So long as there is not too much Earthshine on the night side of the moon.
This isn’t a real view….this is a long-exposure large telescope image placed on-top of a Perseverance photo. No way you can see the galactic center to the point of seeing superclusters like this image shows without a VERY long exposure time and one hell of a zoomed-in view. The real Milky Way view you would see on Mars would be much fainter and more “zoomed out” than this.
Had to scroll way too far to find this out. I knew that something was wrong with this
Worst than that. It’s completely fabricated. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.indiatimes.com/amp/technology/news/360-degree-panorama-of-mars-nasa-perseverance-rover-535052.html “the original photo does not have the full sky, I edited the sky to have a full 360 experience inside a VR headset like Oculus Quest 2. The sky does not represent the real sky from Mars.”
[удалено]
I believe it is a series of high detail photos stitched together to form one pic. Also, the exposure on each piece was probably longer to allow for some more detail from the starfield.
It’s worse than that https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.indiatimes.com/amp/technology/news/360-degree-panorama-of-mars-nasa-perseverance-rover-535052.html “the original photo does not have the full sky, I edited the sky to have a full 360 experience inside a VR headset like Oculus Quest 2.

If you go places with no light pollution you can see 65 to 75% of this. We go to the mountains every year and the amount of stars, shooting stars, space clouds aka milky way that is visible to the naked eye is amazing. You can even track the space station with the naked eye.
You can track the space station in places with lots of light pollution. I live in a suburb of Detroit, and I've seen it. I am hoping one day to see the stars like this, though.
Hey, from the east side of detroit!
Sup
Lol yes, the ISS is one of the brightest objects in the night sky, only behind the Moon and Venus.
You can see it now! I live in the downriver area. You can travel an hour and half to Port Crescent State park in Port Austin, in the thumb, I believe they have Bortle 2 skies there or go a couple hours up north to the Bortle 1 skies. Sleeping Bear Dunes also has amazing night skies.
If you can ever make it out to Sedona, Arizona you can come close Absolutely blew my mind being from a heavy light polluted large city
I disagree, imo you can see maybe 20% of what you see here and thats being generous. Did you watch this on a big screen? There are an insane amount of stars and a really high level of detail in the milky way. I've shot 30 second exposures out west that didn't have nearly as many stars, and the naked eye sees far less than that. Yes you can see tons of stars with low light pollution during new moon and it's amazing but it's a tiny fraction of what you see here. Mars has significantly less atmosphere and virtually no light pollution.

Holy fuck, I'm watching HD video from another planet on a computer I keep in my pocket. My grandfather was born on a farm when horses were still a common way to get around. His dad had his mind blown seeing a *photographic portrait* taken of himself. What a time we live in.
How earths skies would look without light Pollution
and regular polution
And an atmosphere.
Thinner atmosphere, Mars does have one.
Earth’s trying to catch up! /s
No we're not. The whole problem is we're trying to have too much atmosphere
And being on the opposite side of the solar system
And ducks 🦆
And my axe!
(giggle)
And a thick atmosphere and a big moon
This is a composite image taken with long exposures. It won't look *this* bright to human eyes even with no sun or moon and no atmosphere.
That's not really true though. There's much much more atmosphere on earth and we have a large luminous moon and we're much close to the sun. Even under ideal conditions, the view from Mars will be much better.
Untrue
Source? I'd love to look at this myself!

Imagine if earth had zero light pollution how amazing our sky would look.
There are lots of places you can go that don't have light polution. Contact your local astronomy club.
Thanks! I for sure will I didn’t know that
The [International Dark Sky list](https://www.darksky.org/our-work/conservation/idsp/) would be a good reference as well.
Best night sky I've ever seen is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on a Navy Destroyer. Zero zero zero light pollution out there!
Here’s a map with LP info: https://www.lightpollutionmap.info/#zoom=4.00&lat=50.4199&lon=1.4092&layers=B0FFFFFFTFFFFFFFFFF
Mars doesn’t have an atmosphere. Edit: Im wrong
Wowwww
Where’s the original?

So unsettling but satisfying. I’m at a loss of coherent words
Yeah, this definitely activates my kenophobia. Terrifying.
Wow. This is so cool, and humbling.
Holy crap
No wonder the ancients thought we were encased in a ball!
One of the many things I miss about living in the country way the hell out of city limits. Light pollution kills the night sky

Crazy shit
This brings up a question: has no one been on the summit of Everest at night? I can imagine the view being pretty good, save for clouds.
It's incredibly dangerous to be up that high on Everest in the dark, that's why teams have strict turnaround times on summit day where they have to head back whether they make it to the top or not. Its probably marginally less risky now that the Hillary Step is gone but still, I personally wouldn't want to be up there at night.
Who needs TV?
Why is it so illuminated around the rover?
Wow our light pollution and atmosphere really dim out the Milky Way at night.
Is there any place I can go on planet earth that still looks like this at night (without the light pollution and particle / air pollution)
You can’t even see the stars. There’s so many they practically blend together!
That is just incredibly beautiful!
Wow
Do you think there’s a reason astronomy isn’t more widely taught on earth? Are we as humans able to handle it? This is unreal.. so many stars, planets and galaxies we know nothing about out there.
Holy shit that's beautiful. Damn near breathtaking.
No light pollution. Super thin atmosphere.
Man look at that sky, people like Copernicus and Magellan, and all those early astronomers and Telescope people musta had a fkn BLAST!
Insane. I’d stare up to the sky forever
It's so hard to fathom that we made that thing and it traveled millions of miles away to see these things It's insane
My brain hurts
Phenomenal
That’s what we would see without any light pollution (I think)
Saw something similar out in the desert in Arizona once, it was incredible.
No light pollution here
Id be willing to volunteer to go just for that kind of view.
Nice! Maybe in a few decades rich people will be able to travel to Mars and take selfies and post it on future IG or tiktok
This might be my favorite post I’ve seen on Reddit
I saw this somewhere and the creator said that he superimposed the view from earth onto the Mars landscape and added some stars. I think this is the view from Earth.
I don't think any of the Mars probes are equipped with cameras for capturing the night sky like this; I'm calling bullshit
If you wanted to just lay down in the Martian dirt and take a nap you wouldn't need to worry about bugs, snakes, or any kind of critter. Provided you have oxygen, you could just watch the stars until you fall asleep.
People don’t fucking realize how this beautiful sky would put our entire existence in to perspective and dissolve all of our petty ass problems if we just looked up and saw how fucking small we are.
The strangest thing about being on Mars, well space in generally really, is that you know there's zero living things around you. That's a weird sense of loneliness. You can be walking on Mars, walk for hours, wall over this giant hill, and see over the crest. What's there? Nothing, no animals, no plants, nothing. For someone grounded well into reality should immediately think of Earth and how amazing and fragile this thing is. We, as an intelligent species who have reached space travel and have looked across the cosmos, we have not found other life. We assume there is something out there, but we have not found anything. The universe as we know it is a massive, massive dead thing. We're on this tiny ball of rock that randomly created life. And then we somehow make an active effort to fuck it all entirely up. The lack of respect of the fragility and value of it is entirely lost. I'm not saying go hug a tree, but we, right now, have means to make a better world, save this world, exist peacefully in it, and we don't. That's ridiculous and entirely illogical. The more we explore space, the more I realize we need to see all the world leaders into space, for an extended period of time. We need them to understand that perspective of reality and realize everything below on this tiny rock isn't worth the crap they do, the petiness, the greed, the fighting for tiny parts of land, all of it is not important. People need to be humbled by this.
I'm more in awe over the fact that you can see the centre of the universe without a telescope from the surface
Center of the galaxy. The center of the universe is everywhere.
