Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Space is big. Space is very, very big. Because space is big, objects are usually very far apart. But empty skies and vast lanes of the void of space are not aesthetically pleasing. This trope is in effect when objects in space are visible in locations where they make no sense, either due to the sciencenote e.g. too close to exist without tearing the planet apart from tidal forces or due to pre-established canonnote as in the case of Vulcan from Star Trek where the planet has previously been stated to have no moons. Nebulae are particularly subject to this, because they can fill an otherwise black sky with color. Sometimes, the planets even appear in a sky that isn't black. Related Tropes: Asteroid Thicket, Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale, Science Marches On (for some examples base on older information). The Mountains of Illinois is a similar Earth-bound trope. Subtrope of Space Does Not Work That Way. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Examples: |

This trope is taken to extreme in Darkstar One. From the Earth orbit in the Solar system you can see incredibly big Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus and Mercury. In fact, they appear larger than the Moon. | |

In Justice League: Cry for Justice, Green Lantern and Green Arrow fly through an Asteroid Thicket, despite the fact that they traveled from Earth orbit to the surface, where logically there should be no asteroids. | |

World of Warcraft: When standing on the peak of the Black Temple on Outland, while within the raid, Azeroth is clearly visible in the sky. Most notably, the Maelstrom - a gigantic, ever-spinning, logic- and physics-defying whirlpool - is the most obvious landmark. Outland is by no means visible from the other planet. On the other hand, many other planets are visible and quite large on the Outland sky, often translucent and overlapping. Coupling that with various characters' remarks (such as Zephyr's comment on "time in Outland passing differently"), the reason for Dreanor becoming Outland and the fact it seems to lie directly inside the Twisting Nether, this weird astronomy might actually make some scary sense. Likewise, for quite a long time, one of Azeroth's two moons was missing. They seem to have brought it back in either Cataclysm or Mists of Pandaria. |

In Star Trek (2009), apparently Delta Vega is close enough for Spock Prime to witness the destruction of Vulcan without a telescope. This ends up Handwaved as a psychic vision. | |

In John Carter, Mars's moons are shown as two huge spheres in the sky that are always right next to each other. In reality, Mars's moons are extremely tiny, non-spherical (they're captured asteroids, and look rather like potatoes), and their orbital rates are so different — 2.7 days east-to-west for Deimos, 11 hours west-to-east for Phobos — they don't stay lined up together in the sky. | |

Futurama tends to show Mars with Earth clearly visible in the sky, and oversized moons. This is presumably Rule of Cool, as the creators would definitely know better. On the other hand, due to the use of Stock Footage, the Earth is shown rotating in the correct direction even after its rotation was reversed. | |

The Force Awakens is an exaggerated example: the destruction of the several inhabited planets of the Hosnian system with a First Order superweapon is clearly visible with the naked eye, from what is explicitly a different star system entirely, in real time, during the local day, without even using any psychic vision handwavium. J. J. Abrams seems to be constitutionally incapable of comprehending a universe where you cannot see every other point in it by simply looking up in the sky. The Hand Wave explanation In-Universe is that the shot of the superweapon somehow travels through Hyperspace, which just raises more questions than it answers, among them whether or not the weapon can only fire through (pre-established) "Hyperspace Highways" | |

Blake's 7: Many exterior shots of the Liberator flying through space (e.g. in the opening titles of season one and two) feature lots of big spheres in view at the same time. And a very colorful sky. | |

In Spore, every planet in the star system you're currently in is visible (and quite large) from the ground of any other planet. It's even possible to see entire galaxies from the ground, looking so close you should be able to reach them with the Faster-Than-Light Travel the game allows for. Then again, the planets and stars in Spore are much smaller than real ones, so perhaps the whole universe itself is smaller than in reality and those planets and galaxies really are that close to one another. | |

No Man's Sky follows this by having all the planets and moons in a system close together. This is so that travel times are reasonable, as trips from one planet to another takes several minutes as it is. However it results in worlds (and Mission markers on those worlds) being visible as long as you're looking in the right direction. | |
