Yes, our eyes just do have a fantastic dynamic range.
Having said that, if you were sitting on the satellite, you would see even more stars if you blinkered out the brightness of the sun, moon, and earth.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoDon't cameras have much better dynamic range, but we just limit it in software by reducing everything into 8-12bit/color images? After all, the hardware is just a bunch of sensors counting photons.

We as humans can probably obtain 24 stops when our body uses all the tricks it has, not only optics of our "hardware".
