I'm not sure. I just figured that it was way out of reach of what a cell phone would be able to see.

I don't know. I was just surprised to see it.

Because light reflected off the moon stops before it gets here, right?

Before it gets to my cell phone.

I'll alert the physicists.

All he's trying to say is that he thought his phone was too shit to detect that amount of light. One-sentence boxing matches are not the way forward.

Yes they are.

He speaks the truth.

Too low of a pixel resolution.

The moon is a significantly sized object.

So's your face.

So are the stars yet you can normaly only see them during the dark due to the surrounding light blinding them out.

And that has nothing to do with resolution, at all.

Neither does the fact of the moons size.

The stars are extremely large yet i dont see anyone taking clear pictures of them with low pixel resolution camera phones, do you?

Christ.
You said the moon would not be visible due to a low resolution.
I said it is visibly large, which is why it is captured in the low resolution image.
Stars are incredibly small when seen from Earth, and subsequently are affected by resolution.

It's really, really, really not a difficult thing to comprehend. If you look in the sky, you can see the moon is visibly larger than a damn star.

Nevermind. Tural beat me to it.

I've always had trouble taking pictures of the moon with a cell phone, but trying to take one of a star is just crazy talk.

Back to happiness now.
