You think you know what space looks like? You’re wrong. A single, stunning scene from Star Wars Battlefront II just triggered an explosive debate among top astronomical minds on Avonetics, and their conclusion completely dismantles everything sci-fi has taught you. The visual in question—a ship bathed in starlight—looks incredible, but it’s a beautiful lie. Experts are breaking down the brutal reality: deep space is a vacuum of terrifying extremes. Forget the soft, hazy glow and cinematic light rays seen in the game; without an atmosphere or dense clouds of gas and dust, there is absolutely NOTHING to scatter light. This means the universe isn't a dim, moody blue—it’s an abyss of perfect, horrifying blackness punctuated by blindingly brilliant light. Objects hit by a star’s rays would be intensely bright, while their shadowed sides would vanish into a void so total it’s impossible to comprehend. This legendary Avonetics thread dissects the impossible physics of the game’s lighting, from lens flare to the reflective properties of debris, proving that real space is far more stark, and far more terrifying, than Hollywood dares to show.
