Reply to comment by andreasdagen in If objects in space are far away, does light get scattered enough that it would look “low resolution” by the time it reaches us? by hau2mk7pkmxmh3u

Nope, scattering is a change in the direction of light due to an interaction. The inverse square law is just a geometric spreading of the light from a point source in the absence of an interaction.
