why is it ?when you are on the way to the moon,you see the earth but you dont see the SUN shinning.?

Question

this question's for those fly-ers to answer. (astonaught) who have gone there in the outer space.,but wont tell us what really is the real score out there.regarding seeing things that is of great importance supposed to be publized but they keep it hidden instead.it is true, some sorts of flying objects,probably U.F.O.'s are great observer watching us develope ourselves in adopting the literazation of the spaces of the outer terretories far from mother earth jurisdictions.but, how far have we gone then,?please tell me what's your answer.

Answer 1

I am not a flier who won't tell you what is really going on. If you fly to the moon, you will see the sun unless it behind the Earth or moon. It will be shining on you. If not it will be shining on either the Earth or the moon unless it is a lunar eclipse and you are directly between the Earth and the moon.

Answer 2

The Apollo lunar missions were planned quite deliberately to take place during the lunar day for the side of the Moon that faces the Earth.

This only makes sense since Mission Control didn't want to endanger the astronauts by having them try to land on the Moon at night. They also wanted to make sure the mission took place during the full moon so communications would be continuous (except for those few minutes when the astronauts orbited the Moon and were on the far side of the Moon.)

I still remember standing outside our suburban home the day Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first to land on the Moon (July 20, 1969). I looked up in the sky in the daytime and saw the bright full moon right there and wondered in awe at the fact that it was no longer that "thing" in the sky, but it had now become a place where people could go--and indeed would go in a few hours.

Much later that night, they did indeed land, Armstrong white-knuckling the LEM down manually, because the then very primitive attitude control computer was completely overwhelmed by the incoming data.

A truly memorable night. I was almost 17 at the time.

Therefore, as the astronauts escaped Earth's orbit and flew to the Moon, the Earth (for at least a portion of the trip) blocked the Sun.

There is no atmosphere on the Moon. That's why space looked so black in the Apollo pictures. The astronauts could see the Sun when the Earth wasn't blocking it (Earth eclipse), but this is very difficult for cameras to pick up because of the great contrast between light and dark on the Moon. I remember how Mission Control had to adjust the camera by remote control quite often when sunlight would hit the LEM or the astronaut's space suit because of the blinding glare.

Sorry, no aliens were found.

Answer 3

What is that white stuff reflecting off the surface of the space vehicle - snow?
What silly thing are you trying to mean with this inept question? UFO means Unidentified Flying Object - not flying saucer with aliens in it - Unidentified.
Take a break, have a good meal, perhaps with a small glass of wine or a good beer, take a nap. You'll feel better for it.

Answer 4

You can see the sun shining but there is no atmosphere around in space for the light from the sun to undergo rayleigh scatterring effect. So as a result you will see everyting dark except the light reflected by the earth.

Answer 5

When you don't have an atmosphere to protect you, the Sun will give you a nasty burn within minutes, and will fry your retinas within seconds. This is why space suit visors are very dark and have UV-blocking chemicals in them.

And really, enough with the conspiracy theories. Just stop. Nobody wants to hear about it.

Answer 6

Vacuum does not scatter light as does the atmosphere (Mie and Rayleigh scattering). If you looked into the sun in space your eyes would melt from your head. Not good for unshielded optics, either.

Ignorance is not a form of knowing things.

Answer 7

I think that aiming a camera at the sun while you are in outer space would destroy the camera.
