Why do astronauts feel terrified when they look at Earth from the moon?

It's because of the high-altitude reaction. <>

The distance to the Moon is hundreds of thousands of kilometers from the Earth, and astronauts can see the whole picture of the Earth from the Moon. The reason why astronauts are scared is because the distance is so high that people feel scared. Many of the Earth's ** were taken from above the Moon, which further led us to understand that the Earth is a blue planet with seven oceans and three land, and is extremely beautiful in the entire solar system.

However, the distance between the Moon and the Earth is hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Looking at the Earth from above the moon makes people weak in the legs, and it's a high-altitude reaction, which most people do, just like we can feel the fear when we stand on dozens of tall buildings and look down. <>

On the moon, there is no legendary Chang'e, let alone the beautiful Guanghan Palace, only a desolate ruin. But scientists have proven that there are a lot of resources on the moon, which is very helpful for us in the development of science and technology. As long as our abilities reach a certain peak, the Moon will fully become a resource point and then slowly develop to other planets in the solar system.

With the development of the Internet, there are fewer and fewer things that can make us afraid. We know more and more about it, but very little about extraterrestrialism. Even when we look at the surface of the Earth from the Moon, many people have never seen it.

Although airplanes have become a means of daily transportation, most people have never ridden them, so they can feel intimidated when they fly for the first time. We can believe that in the coming centuries, more and more people will be able to go into space, because in these decades the living conditions of human beings have become better and better, and more and more life has come to Earth. But the carrying capacity of the Earth is limited, so it is very possible to build a space station for the survival of the universe like in science fiction movies.

Or, in a few years, we will find another "Earth".

Because of the innate fear of darkness, if you fall on the front and you can still see the earth, although it is also a huge black curtain, but if it falls on the back of the moon, then even the earth can not be seen, and then you are facing darkness, the unknown universe, human beings can not eliminate the fear of darkness and the unknown, because they will involuntarily imagine what horror is hidden behind it.

This is because astronauts are on the moon in a very quiet environment, and the perspective is quite different, and when you look at the earth, you will feel that the earth is very huge, so you will feel fear.

If you look at the earth from the moon, you will feel that the difference in size between the two is very large, and it looks very unreal, so it is very scary.

Because if you look at the earth from the moon, it feels very illusory, and it is a blue planet, which is not real at all.

Because it is very far away from the earth, there will be some fear of heights. When I look back at the earth, I miss my hometown very much, so I am afraid to look back at the earth.

Because you can clearly see the shape of the earth on the moon, such a situation will be very panicked, so I don't want to look back at the earth.

Because it is very scary to see the earth up close, this situation will occur.

We are not astronauts, let alone on the moon, but this does not prevent us from analyzing why astronauts are afraid on the moon from the perspective of ordinary people.

The fear of being away from home

Nearly 100 hours ago, they were still talking and laughing on the earth, but now, they have "run" to the moon more than 380,000 kilometers away, and it is the first time that they are so far away from home. Looking at the desolation around us, thinking of the prosperity of the earth, such a huge contrast, I can't help but feel a sense of fear in my heart.

The moon landing is the first time for mankind, all the projects are experimental, especially the return, there are too many uncertainties, whether it can be successfully returned to the earth, it can be said that everyone is absolutely sure. Thinking of distant hometowns, thinking of one's relatives, if the return is not successful, never to return to the earth, not to see relatives, thinking of this, people will have a thousand thoughts, regrets, resignation, a trace of fear, all kinds of thoughts.

Fear of one's own insignificance

I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because we are in this mountain", we are on the earth, what we see is only the scenery within the scope of vision, and there is no perceptual understanding of what the whole earth is like. Now standing on the moon, I see the huge earth is a blue star, like a beautiful oil painting. Blue is the ocean, yellow is the desert, brown is the mountains, green is the forest, and these landscapes are ever-changing under the influence of the atmosphere.

Seeing the earth from 380,000 kilometers away is so wonderful and so pleasing to the eye. Compared with the huge earth, compared with the endless moon in front of us, one person is so small, and human beings are so humble in the entire universe. All of this, in great contrast, and stark contrast, is a tremendous shock to the human psyche, and it creates fear, which is the fear of the celestial bodies that we see, and the fear of the whole universe.

The fear of time standing still.

People live on the earth, there is a clear concept of time, the movement of the sun, the alternation of day and night, morning, afternoon, one hour, two hours, people are living in the long river of spring time, everything is taken for granted.

But when you stand on the moon, it's all gone, time stops, and when you look at the Earth, you always find that everything is still the same, nothing has changed, and it feels like everything has stopped. At this time, don't you have fear?

The fear that astronauts have on the moon is not that they see something terrifying, but that a normal person reacts to a very strange environment.

Far away, far away from home and relatives, the black canopy, the lonely distant earth suspended in front of you, as if it has stood still for hundreds of millions of years, etc., will have an impact on the psychology of astronauts, and the psychological pressure is also huge. However, in order to explore the universe, they need to endure all this. Therefore, it makes people sincerely admire the astronauts.

When you look at the Earth from the Moon, you can see green plains, blue earth, brown and yellow continents, etc., which are affected by the Earth's rotation, as well as raging hurricanes and gas socks. The Earth seems to have turned into a "terrifying" planet. We'll see a lovely sight of no more white clouds in the atmosphere.

Instead, the frightening cyclone and eye of the storm were informed.

It's the fear of why the earth is so big, and when you look at the earth from the moon, the earth is also very bright, and it will stab your eyes.

I'm afraid that this distance is too far, and I won't fall off the moon.
