I was reading a space magazine from 1992 and I think were a little off track.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope officially set to launch Dec. 24

So close to stars, yet so far...

Is it possible to detect Oort cloud by measuring brightness changes from two telescopes on opposite sides of orbits, I know that stars are practically point light sources, but at distance of 100000au? Maybe?

Help on starting out astronomy.

So I recently purchased the Orion space probe 130st eq and I was wondering if anyone could give me tips on how to take some good photos, Idk what kind of filters or lenses? I really like astronomy and I wanted to learn how to get into it? Youtube hasn't really helped.

So I did the math and I'm about 90% sure I won't be able to see the James webb launch from the southern United States. I cant really seem to tell where you will be able to see it from in person unless in south america correct?

I originally took the day off last week to watch it and it's been moved to the 24th. Probably going to have to settle for watching it on the live feed huh?

Most of our artifacts have busy lives before joining the Air and Space family, and our McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is no exception. #OTD in 1970, our Phantom was accepted by the @USNavy. More on the aircraft: https://t.co/7uHYuByISQ https://t.co/satQEeEsTJ

Position and brightness data of stars from another point of view?

Hello r/Astronomy! I'm working on building a game that takes place on another planet and I'd like to show the sky accurately as it might appear on a planet in the Trappist-1 system. Basically I want to build a star chart from another planet. Is there an open database of some kind that I could process to obtain brightness and position data for stars visible from there? I imagine I'd have to adjust the stars to have Trappist-1 at 0,0 and use trig to get their angles, but honestly I'm working alone and making this up as I go. I know its not terribly far from Sol, but stars nearby will have undergone quite a bit of parallax. Since you have to use the sky to navigate in the game, and the planet is tidally locked with the local star, I'd like to put in the effort to get at least the brightest stars right. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
