05. Can we see the Sun when we're in space? (A K2S Question)
From The Space Library
It's not a good idea to look directly at the Sun, even here on Earth, and even wearing sunglasses. The same is true in space. As we fly further out into the solar system, we will always be able to see the Sun, but it will seem smaller and less bright.
