On a clear day, though, a person standing at sea level can see a little less than three miles across the ocean. You can see farther if you go higherâat the highest altitude on Little Diomede (919 feet), you can see for about 37 miles. (Between mid-December and mid-June, when the water between the two islands freezes, an intrepid explorer can just walk from one to the other.)
How far can I see with a telescope? Pretty far. Usually this question is asked when comparing two scopes, as in can I see farther with this telescope?. A bigger scope will show you more, but not necessarily farther. You don't really need to see farther, though. With the unaided eye, you can see 2.8 million light-years to the Andromeda Galaxy. Even a very small telescope can show you an object called 3C273, a quasar in Virgo that is 3 billion light-years distant. But most objects that are interesting to look at aren't that far away. What you really want with a telescope is light-gathering power to see fainter things, not farther things.
