What are these ‚light particles‘ you see when you’re looking in the sky?

325 views

While you look in the (for me at the moment grey) sky, it’s almost like you don’t see just what you’d draw on a painting. It’s like a million (or so) tiny light particles flicker around. And in general it’s not like looking for example on the ground where you see everything ‚normal‘, looking at the sky feels more like watching something on an old tv.

What’s that?

So you mean eye floaters? They are dead cells and such things in your eyes, which then you see. Completely normal.

> They can become particularly noticeable when looking at a blank surface or an open monochromatic space, such as blue sky.

Wikipedia explains it better than me:

Edit:
Probably not these but the other things that two people have linked. But I will leave this here, in case someone has same thoughts than me or have ever wondered what these are.
