Incredible...I don't know how some people can find this stuff "boring" or "dumb" it's amazing wat creations lay out there...

whiteman12- No, it would not be like this, these photos were taken with very long exposure times.

But if you point just av=bout any telescope at the trapezium (center) of the Orion Nebula (m42) you can see more detail than you might think.

i guess some planets like the venus you will not see in the southern hemisphere. i used to see a bright star at night in manado and my home country, but it was not visible from easter island or rio or nadi, fiji (but those trips were at least six years ago)

Yes you can see ON with the naked eye, but it will only look like an ordinary star (on a really dark place, more like a fuzzy star). You need a good telescope to see *some* detail, but to see the real deal you have to take photos using long exposures (that's why the stars are so big on the pic in the video).
