question on the movie interstellar (which I am told is fairly scientifically accurate), if time on the water planet moves so slowly, what would someone on the shuttle observe with a really good telescope?

So if I recall, massive gravitational forces slow time, and in the movie, they depicted 1 astronaut remaining on a ship out of range, but within view (perhaps with a super large telescope)

&#x200B;

So theoretically, if this is remotely scientificly accurate, what would the person on the space shuttle see when they looked down at the planet?  would they see a person moving at super slow speeds?

Things on the planet would appear to be moving extremely slowly. However, the rate at which light escapes the planet is also hugely dilated, and each photon is stretched out (redshifted) as it moves through the extreme gravitational field.

The redshift factor is the same as the time dilation faction, for a simple non-rotating black hole. In the movie, one hour on the planet is seven years for a distant observer, which comes out to a factor of 60,000. So you would be receiving photons from the planet 60,000 times more slowly, making it very very dim.

The light would also be so redshifted that it would not be visible. The visible light would be stretched down to low-energy microwaves - almost radio waves. X-ray radiation would be redshifted down to visible light, so you could see that, but if there's that many x-rays coming out of the planet, it's not going to be somewhere with an atmosphere and an ocean.

So yeah, you could see people moving slowly, but you'd need special equipment to see anything at all really.
