Once your eyes are fully adjusted a full moon is surprisingly bright. I've turned off my headlight and hiked by moonlight.
In deep space though the light reflected off an object would suffer from the inverse square rule so this faint light would quickly dissapear into the background.

Just to add...
It is the furthest thing you can see with your naked eye. You have to use averted vision to see it so the rods around your fovea get engaged. They are more sensitive to dim light.

Radar but space is a lot of empty. The biggest problem is likely micrometorites and high energy atomic scale particles chewing away at you.

The shadow contrast on objects even in orbit is severe. The darkness is so deep it makes it impossible to see without artificial light. Astronauts say the change from daylight to night is dramatic and sudden and so is the drop in temperature.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see more connections between the gut-brain revolving around the vagus nerve. It joins the brain suspiciously close to areas like the hippocampus and the substantia nigra where we see dementia and parkinson's start.

Where exactly is the data coming from? Does it assume plastic use is automatically waste?
This national data is interesting...

Some microorganisms, like malaria, are very good at hiding themselves and the immune system is blind to them.

Reply to comment by AlarmingAffect0 in Is there such a thing as a gamma radiation mirror? by AlarmingAffect0
As far as I understand the surface of a neutron star is a very thin layer of normal nuclei and an extremely thin iron vapor "atmosphere". Gamma rays might end up interacting with the surface and having pair production (coverting to an electron snd positron) before reaching the neutron density layer.

One thing I learned about steel recycling is that copper contamination is a growing problem. It is impossible to completely remove all copper from recycled scrap and everytime more scrap is put into the mix the steel gets more and more contaminated. The end result is steel gets brittle. There is no economically viable way to remove it so the fix is to keep watering it down with virgin iron from ore.
