what natural wonder can be seen in space?
144973
This sort of depends on what you mean by natural wonder, but there are many.\n\nOne of my favourite is the scablands of the Western U.S. centering about the Snake River Canyon. These were carved out by a huge catastrophic flood that occurred at the end of the last glacial maximum. As the Laurentian continental glaciers receded north, one limb that had been blocking a giant lake gave way, and the water rushed all the way from about Montana to the Pacific. I'm recalling all of this from memory.

i think that it is very important in a modern society like ours who might one day venture into the unknown reaches of space to be fully aware of our space surroundings. the moon does look pretty promising for a colony.

Under ideal conditions such as no smoke, smog, dust, in a flat area, we should be able to see till infinity. Everytime you gaze at the night sky, you see stars millions and billions of miles away. However, you won't be able to see an object, say a golf ball, that is a mile away.  This is because our ability to see things is limited by the resolution of our eyes i.e. how small an object we can discern. Even though bacteria are all around us, we can't see them because they are too small for our eyes to resolve. In the same manner, large objects that are very distant, will also be invisible to us.  However, the earth is not flat, but curved, so the curvature also limits our ability to see distant objects. the higher up you are, the farther away you can see. Even the satellites or astronauts in space can't see more than half the area or circumference of the earth (only one side of it) when they are in space.

Yes you can see them -- as other have pointed out they are seen as object that moves across from sky in a matter of a minute of so -- far faster and completely steady unlike an air plane -- once you have seen one you will know.\n\nThey are best seen just after sun set (or just before sun rise) where it is dark at ground level but due to the curvature of the earth still sun light 100 mile above.   At this point you can clearly see the stateliest as the passes though sun light and become bright as a star.\n\nThe link below will search (click on the SkySearch) though a database of ~300 satellites which are easy to see, and give you a time for when you can see them locally.\n\nMake sure that you 1) provide the accurate information of where you are going to be looking, as a few miles does make a difference to both whether you can see them but also to the time, and 2) make sure you have a clock which is right to the second as that helps you look for the right thing.

The pictures you see that are released by nasa or whoever are doctored. If you were out in space you would basically see what you see now. There are some differences in colors of stars, for example bettleguise ( forgive my horrible spelling) is a red giant and is a red colored star. However this really isn't what were talking about here. When you see nebulae and such in those pictures they are quite pretty, blue, red, all sorts of stuff going on there. In the truth of the matter if you could actually "look" through the hubble it would be just plain ole grey's and white's. Sometimes a picture is taken in several different wavelenghts and has each wavelength given as a different color. This is really not as common as some people think. I assure you that those amazing pictures that are full of color were processed to look amazing and not becasue they have these incredible colors themselves.\n\nOh one last thing, if you were up in space and you got a look at the sun it would appear bright white and not the yellow that we are used to here on the ground- the atmosphere gives it the color

This question is asked very often, and sometimes it is not phrased correctly, just like: "Can you see the Great Wall of China from the shuttle or from the space station?". Of course you can see it from there! (Although personally I was not able to see it, as our inclination was not enough, or to put it in other words: our mission did not take us over that Wall.) In the special programme "Looking down on the Earth with Marilyn Monroe" I thoroughly explained that everything larger than 30 metres can be recognised with the naked eye from a near Earth orbit. And of course also the Great Wall. \n\nBut the well-known rumour is as follows: "Is the Great Wall of China the only man-made work (incl. cities etc.) that you can see from the Moon?" As (unfortunately) I cannot answer this question from my own personal experience, I asked two of my Apollo colleagues - Charles M. Duke (Apollo 16, 5th moonlanding, April 1972) and Eugene A. Cernan (Apollo 17, 6th moonlanding, December 1972) - to enlighten us with the answer. Their answer was as follows:\n\nCharles M. Duke (Apollo 16): "... I do not think that you can see anything created by mankind from the Moon. Nobody saw the Great Wall of China from the Moon. You cannot see any large cities or man-made objects from the Moon. It is already difficult enough to see the different continents from the Moon. ... It is a common misunderstanding that we were able to see the Great Wall of China from the Moon. I do not know how this came about."\n\nEugene A. Cernan (Apollo 17): "There are NO man-made objects that you could see from the distance of the Moon, neither with your naked eye nor with the monocular we had with us on the Apollo mission. ... Yes, you can see the Great Wall of China from 200-300 miles, from the Earth orbit of the shuttle, in space. I could also see the Dome Stadium in Houston on Gemini IX with my naked eye. But these things, including large cities, cannot be seen from the Moon neither during the day nor at night. ... You should realise that the Earth, which appears four times larger than the Moon , is covered in oceans and clouds. From the Moon, we see the Earth just as the Lord created it, we do NOT see any man-made objects." \n\n\nI think this is an answer to this probing question once and for all.

Do you mean satellites people made that are still up there? Because I think there is an answer to that question.\n\nBut natural satellites? Gazillions.

STARS AND NEBULAE.\n\nMost of the things you can see in the night sky are stars: a few thousand are visible to the unaided eye. A star is a hot ball of mostly hydrogen gas; the Sun is an example of a typical, ordinary star. Gravity keeps the gas from evaporating into space, and pressure due to the star's high temperature and density keeps the ball from shrinking. In the core of the star, the temperature and densities are high enough to sustain nuclear fusion reactions, and the energy produced by these reactions works its way to the surface and radiates into space as heat and light. When the fuel for the fusion reactions is depleted, the structure of the star changes. The process of building up heavier elements from lighter ones by nuclear reactions, and adjusting the internal structure to balance gravity and pressure, is called stellar evolution. \nLooking at a star through a telescope can tell us many of its important properties. The color of a star tells us its temperature, and the temperature depends on some combination of the star's mass and evolutionary phase. Usually, observations also allow us to find the luminosity of the star, or the rate at which it radiates energy as heat and light. \nAll stars visible to the unaided eye are in our galaxy, the Milky Way. The Milky Way is system of roughly 100 billion stars, along with a great deal of interstellar material. The galaxy is shaped like a flattened disk embedded in a round, faint halo. Gravity keeps the stars from drifting away, and the motions of the stars keep the system from falling in on itself. The Milky Way has no distinct edge - the distribution of stars tapers off gradually with increasing distance from the center. The SDSS detects stars more than a million times fainter than can be seen with the unaided eye, far enough to see the outer structure of the Milky Way. \nStar Colors and Luminosities: The H-R Diagram\nAstronomers often make plots of the luminosities of stars compared to their colors. The first such charts were made in the early twentieth century, when astronomers took spectra of thousands of stars, then placed the spectra into a sequence based on the appearance of several different features. The classes of stars were given different letters as names; in order of decreasing temperature, they are OBAFGKMLT. The hottest stars are class O, while the coolest are class T. Two astronomers, Ejnar Hertzsprung and Henry Norris Russell, independently started to wonder what would happen if they compared stars' luminosities to their spectral classifications (or, alternatively, to their temperatures). They knew that some stars were hotter and more luminous than the sun, and that others were cooler and less luminous. Hertzsprung and Russell found that 90% of the stars fell into a narrow band they termed the "main sequence." Today, we call this type of plot a Hertzsprung-Russell (or H-R) diagram. \nAstronomers further divide each letter into ten categories from 0 to 9, with 0 being the hottest star in that spectral class and 9 being the coolest. So, a B1 star is hotter than a B2 star, and a B9 star is hotter than an A0 star. Our own sun is at the "hot" end of the G range with a surface temperature of 5,770° K; therefore, it's called a G2 star. \nSpectral classes give us a convenient way to refer to most types of stars - from O0, the hottest at over 25,000° K, down to T9, the coolest failed stars at 1,000° K. Each spectral type of star is associated with a specific color: all G-type stars like the sun are yellow, all M-type stars appear red, and all B-type stars are bluish. Thus, this system of letters and numbers tells us where a star is on the horizontal (color or temperature) axis of the H-R diagram. \nTwo alternative systems tell us approximately where on the vertical (luminosity) axis a star can be found. One system uses absolute magnitude, a measure of luminosity derived from the apparent magnitude, or brightness of the star

How can we ever know that until we discover it?=D\n\nNo. Technically, with satellite technology, all land has been "discovered" since it has all been photographed. However, there are certainly many areas of the world that remain unexplored by the "civilized" world. And perhaps that's all for the best...

Exploring outer space is something we all do when we look at the stars at night, or the sun during the day.  I'm not a college educated person, but I know in my heart that the creation of what I see out there isn't all God is limited to.  He/She might have lots of populated 'earths' out there among the millions of planets that circle the stars eg suns.  I hope you find your answer

Earth is great, but some of us are very curious about what lies out there.
