We are able to see the Moon, other Planets and even the Sun. The Sun make this possible through its light, even at night. With the help of a powerful telescope we are able to see distant galaxies, distant stars that don't exist anymore, we are seeing only its light which is still travelling.

How can you see the moon and some other planets?

with your eyes


How are you able to see the moon and other planets at night?

Although possible, it is difficult. On the clearest of nights you could by luck be able to view the milky way, but these situations are extremely rare. Telescopes, for example, with the misconception of larger view, actually replace the eyelense, only providing you with slightly larger vision. Although that is the horrid fact, telescopes are much help in view of the galaxy. So, with the correct equipment and accurate use of tools, it is possible to see the moon and other space objects during the night.


If you stand on the moon can you see the other planets?

No Its Just Like When Your Standing On Earth And You Cant See The Planets. The moon is about in the same place as the earth, astronomically speaking. You can see the planets from the moon that are visible from earth. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are all visible. If you have good eyes and know where to look, Uranus is also a dim dot.


Did Neil Armstrong see any other planets?

Neil Armstrong did not see any other planets during his Apollo 11 mission to the Moon in 1969. He only saw the Earth from space and the Moon up close. Armstrong's focus was on successfully completing the mission rather than observing other celestial bodies.


Could you see earth if you were standing on the dark side of the moon?

If you look down, you will see the surface of the moon. If you look up, you will be able to see other celestial bodies in the sky, such as Earth, stars, other planets, etc., as long as they are not currently below the horizon of the moon. However, since the moon keeps the same face toward the Earth, if you are not on the side facing Earth, you will not see the Earth at all.
