There are no stars because the exposure was set for intense sunlight against which stars are many orders of magnitude dimmer. Try photographing stars in a night

There are no stars because the exposure was set for intense sunlight against which stars are many orders of magnitude dimmer. Try photographing stars in a night scene lit by a bright security light - they won't be visible
- daveslash 5y agoYep! Although, that said, I wonder what the astronaut's eyes saw when they were on the surface? Could they see the stars, or were their eyes adjusted to the brightness so much so that they couldn't? I know that they had visors... so maybe?
- galaxyLogic 5y agoYes perhaps. It doesn't make much sense if they were blinded by light on the most important scientific mission ever. Does anybody know if any of the astronauts were asked in an interview about how the sky and stars looked from the moon?
