Say your looking out upon the Earth from a space station in 600 years.
What would be the most accurate view?

A.More or Less Stars


B.Chams Nebula with few stars


Is seeing a nebula possible, or would one just see the darkness of space and the distant stars?

If you need "accurate" view, forget the nebulae and use a direct shot from Celestia.

From an artistic point of view, the nebulae one is much better than the other.

Bye

So accurately its this then right?


Artisticly its wonderful!
Check out what Ive done with that!

The Earth and the Enterprise was done in Celestia.

When I first saw this thread my first thought "wait, would you see stars if you were looking directly at the Earth?". Just think back to the lunar landing images. The lunar surface was very good as washing out the stars and only 2-3 stars were visible in the pictures. So I just had to go and see what the current images of Earth from space look like.

Looking at the images from the following site one would think that the Earth actually does wash out the stars aswell.

So I think cliking this link to this pic and you will see a more realistic look .

Edit: yes I know human eyes would actually see more stars but still I think the earth would still wash em out.

Ah.
Cool.
