In Response To: Question on visibility in space. (Postmortem) : I've been wondering, since I don't know too much about the actual mechanics : of physics and light properties in space, how visible would Shield World : Trevelyan be at various distances? It's easy enough to image if your : within a few million miles... would probably look very similar to what was : described in Glasslands. But what about beyond that? Does the way : visibility works in space allow you to see crystal clear for light years, : or would the curvature of Trevelyan fade out into the blackness much as : mountains fade into grey/white as you get further from them, so that you : could never actually see an abrupt end to it? : For example, it would be impossible for Trevelyan to ever appear visibly : similar to the Forerunner planetoid at the end of Halo 3, right? With it's : size, could it ever be that clear from far away? : I can imagine it would look quite clear if viewed through a telescope, but
: Any help putting this thing into perspective? I can probably help you if you tell me what Trevelyan is.
