turbonium2, I have some questions.
What are stars then, if we accept these floating fuzzy blobs to be actual images of stars?
What causes the difference in colour?
What are the causes of their emission spectra?
Stars have definitive features, and depth, like in the clip I posted earlier on. That's only ONE example, countless others exist, and completely different from other stars, as I've mentioned before!
Look carefully and thoroughly at your example of lights on Earth, shot by a camera from long distance, then shot out of focus, to 'simulate' how stars appear when shot out of focus.....
The first, obvious difference, is that your lights NEVER move, or appear to move, when shot out of focus, from a distance.
Obviously, lights seen in the distance, don't bounce or jump around, from out of focus cameras, or everyone here would KNOW it, and we'd have millions of examples of it, right?
It's hard to believe you'd think those lights support your argument, but that's clearly what you believe, to present them here....
Do you ever see those lights appear to move, and if you DO, please explain HOW they move, and how they move constantly, endlessly, just like all STARS do.
What we all can see, is that they do NOT move, appear to move, as all stars do, constantly, endlessly, above Earth.
When lights are out of focus, as ONLY being lights, from any distance seen, they never appear to move around, change shapes, let alone do so, endlessly, and constantly, let alone all at high speeds, let alone unique from other stars, which also are unique from the other stars....
Lights are often very blurry, appear larger and such, from being out of focus, it's a well-known, proven feature of lights shot out of focus, they are blurred, obscure, and BLOBS of light, as you put it.....
Stars move around, endlessly, constantly, whenever seen, close up, which PROVES that stars ARE moving themselves, as it's not possible to make objects move by external means, without showing evidence of it, in some way.
Nobody needs your excuse about magical effects of our Earth's atmosphere, and it's effects, of all types, we can often PREDICT it, days before it occurs, to a degree, somewhat.
Every effect of our atmosphere is well known, from past history, examples of it, previously. Not the exact SAME one as before, none are the same, of course. But it's the same EFFECT in play, and we know it is.
When YOU keep on claiming, when THEY have been claiming it for centuries, and still do, that all the stars above Earth, are trillions of miles away from Earth, so they'll appear to be tiny points of light from the Earth, no matter how it's magnified with instruments. No instruments will ever show a star in any detail, from Earth.
I'm supposed to believe all stars move around in 'space', at great speeds, but it's hard to notice it, without 'instruments'. That's a good one. The stars ARE moving, but nobody can SEE it moving at all, by eye, only using special instruments, which nobody else HAS, of course, only they do.
They have used instruments for excuses, about how only THEY can use them, and see through them, and nobody else can, forever and ever, no matter how old and primitive it may be.
And why wouldn't they EVER tell us, among so much OTHER crap they've said, over and over again, that they KNOW why all stars appear to 'twinkle', from Earth, even if it's trillions of miles away from Earth. Because of our own 'atmosphere', they claim, which makes each and every star above Earth, when visible from Earth, appear to be 'twinkling', but it's all due to the effects of our atmosphere, and everyone knows it, as if a fact, it's just more BS claimed as being 'true'.
It's the only effect which never changes, acts eternally, constantly, but only on stars, all millions of them, and no other object, BUT those millions of stars!
Why would anyone believe that there's some magical effect, making the stars appear to 'twinkle', but nobody mentions what stars look like up close, when it's out of focus, and/or from the effect of atmosphere, too!
What about other, easily visible celestial objects, such as nebulae, galaxies, etc? If those fuzzy blobs are stars in focus, then pinpoint stars are out of focus. Why are galaxies, nebulae, etc in focus when stars are out of focus?
Are only stars nearby, with other celestial phenomena being distant? If so, then any issue with the idea of distant stars now moves to the other celestial phenomena we see.
Why does fine rain on my glasses at night cause distant lights to look pretty much identical to your in focus stars? In a city, the distant lights even ripple and shimmer as your nearby in focus fuzzy blobs do. In fact, if I remove my glasses, all lights past 5 meters look light that. Why?
