Astronomy in Hawaii under threat?

[Space Karen]

There is one thing that stands out about video shot of the moon landing. There are no visible stars in the sky. The sky is pitch black.

This is one observation which led some to believe the moon landing was filmed inside a warehouse.

There is another angle to it where atmospheric lensing could help to harness and direct star light from space to make it more visible. Gases in the atmosphere can function as a giant lense to amplify and clarify light as it reaches earth from space.

This could explain why stars are visible from ground level on earth. And difficult to see on the moon which lacks atmosphere and the lensing effect it can create.

This atmospheric lensing could give telescopes on the ground an advantage over ones in space.

But TBH I don't know enough about astronomy to say what is what lol. Agencies like NASA also do not do a good job breaking down the pros versus cons.
