Ridiculous Orion image[edit]

The right part of the Orion image might be what you see from a city, but no human eye will be able to see the left part – it's a long exposure photography. Rursus dixit. (^mbork³!) 20:02, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I made it more clear that this isn't with human eyes. Actually, the image at right also shows much more detail than a human eye could see in a city, but I think the image is good for getting the point across, and especially because Orion is actually used by the GLOBE at Night project.
