| Domain | Definition |
Aerospace | A blanket term long used by astronomers for the disturbing effects produced by the atmosphere upon the image quality of an observed celestial body. Also called astronomical seeing.Recent studies show that seeing is a combination of three principal and distinct effects that the human eye is not capable of distinguishing: (a) scintillation, i.e., fluctuations in brightness; (b) transverse displacements of the image; and (c) variations of the radius of curvature of the wavefront rendering the image in an out of focus.

The word seeing can mean more than one thing:
- In common usage, the word means visual perception
- In astronomy, seeing is a technical term related to the clarity of the atmosphere

One might be interested in visual perception In astronomy, the seeing disk (seeing) is a reference to the best possible angular resolution which can be achieved by an optical telescope, which is viewing the celestial sphere from within an atmosphere. Seeing is a measurement of twinkling. The best conditions, ~0.2 arcseconds, are achievable on Mauna Kea. The Acatama Desert sometimes achieves a seeing disk of 0.5".When light from a star or another astronomical object enters the Earth's atmosphere, the different temperature layers and different wind speeds distort and move the image in various ways. The distortion changes at a high rate, typically more frequently than 100 times a second. In a typical astronomical image with an exposure time of seconds or even minutes, the different distortions average out as a filled circle. The diameter of this circle is measured as the seeing disk.
It follows from this definition that seeing is always a variable quantity, different from place to place, from night to night and even variable on a scale of minutes. Astronomers often talk about "good" nights with a low average seeing, and "bad" nights where the seeing was so high that all observations were worthless.
Seeing is usually measured in arcseconds, abbreviated with the symbol ("). A 1.0" seeing is a good one for average astronomical sites. The seeing of an urban environment is usually much worse.
Seeing is one of the biggest problem for Earth-based astronomy: while the big telescopes have theoretically milli-arcsecond resolution, the real image will never be better than the average seeing during the observation. This can easily mean a factor of 100 between the potential and practical resolution.
The first answer to this problem was NASA's Hubble Space Telescope: working outside the atmosphere, this telescope does not have any seeing problems, and always works at maximum resolution power. The difference is so great that, even being quite small (only a 2.4 meters mirror), it surpassed all Earth-based telescopes for many years, and it is still widely regarded as the best one.
Currently, many telescopes are developing adaptive optics systems that partially solve the seeing problem, but none of the systems so far built or designed completely removes the atmosphere effect.

For the other meaning of the word "see", see episcopal see.
Vision or seeing is one of the senses, consisting of the ability to detect light and interpret (see) it as the perception known as sight or naked eye vision. Something is invisible if within one's line of sight; yet, unseen.
There is disagreement as to whether or not this constitutes one, two or even three distinct senses. Some people make a distinction between "black and white" vision and the perception of colour, and others point out that rod vision uses different physical detectors on the retina from cone vision. Some argue that the perception of depth also constitutes a sense, but others argue that this is really cognition (that is, post-sensory) function derived from having stereoscopic vision (two eyes) and is not a sensory perception as such.
The eye is the light-sensitive organ that performs the first stages of vision. The eye's retina performs the first stages of visual perception processing, with the remaining stages of visual perception occurring in the optic nerve and the visual cortex of the brain.

John Locke | 1690 | His words are, The like natural inducement hath brought men to know that it is no less their duty, to love others than themselves; for seeing those things which are equal, must needs all have one measure; if I cannot but wish to receive good, even as much at every man's hands, as any man can wish unto his own soul, how should I look to have any part of my desire herein satisfied, unless myself be careful to satisfy the like desire, which is undoubtedly in other men, being of one and the same nature? To have any thing offered them repugnant to this desire, must needs in all respects grieve them as much as me; so that if I do harm, I must look to suffer, there being no reason that others should shew greater measure of love to me, than they have by me shewed unto them: my desire therefore to be loved of my equals in nature as much as possible may be, imposeth upon me a natural duty of bearing to them-ward fully the like affection; from which relation of equality between ourselves and them that are as ourselves, what several rules and canons natural reason hath drawn, for direction of life, no man is ignorant. (Second Treatise of Government) |
