How do we see the starry sky?

It's a starry sky that I usually look up at casually, but when I think about it, there is something strange about it.

 

"Why can't you see the stars (first-class stars) at noon?"

"Why can you see the Milky Way in the dark?"

Have you ever had such a question?

Although there are individual differences in the appearance of stars, the reason is not clear (not investigated).

In this project, the "super" approach of Jupiter and Saturn that will occur in December 2020

By having many people around the world observe it, we will challenge the mystery related to starry sky observation.

 

As an illustration department, I was in charge of the illustration below.
