Anyyone who lived in an Eastern Canadian or US city during the 2003 power grid failure has experienced this first hand. I always thought I still saw stars in the city until I saw the sky during a 3 night period without being diluted through the city's ambient light. It was literally breathtaking. Few of us truly see the night sky in the 21st century.
In older literature and text, you often hear people refer to the sky as the heavens. In my short time on this earth, the night sky has always been dark and uninteresting. If you wanted to find a star, you would have to stare at some point in space for a moment before being able to pick up on faint light. That is why it never made sense why people would call something as uninteresting as the sky, "the heavens". I now believe that if I could see the night sky in its full glory, I would also be calling it as such.

During a stay in a small town hundreds of miles from a big city I specifically took my kids miles out from that small town so they could see the stars. Seeing the Mikly Way for the first time in her life moved my teenage daughter to tears. It was a beautiful experience.
December 2021, there was a devastating typhoon that hit the Visayan islands of the Philippines, that destroyed much, and left little. I was privileged enough to have been safe, and when night came, the lack of clouds meant an unhindered view of the night sky, and the beautiful stars sprawled out over the lightless urban landscape. Those were unforgettable days.
That was an extremely convoluted way of saying you can't see stars while in direct sunlight, but I appreciate the romanticism. Indeed, even relatively meagre levels of light from our cities makes it much more difficult to see the stars at night compared to the pitch-black countryside.

On a scout trip my sons and I did sky watching and saw so many stars, you could not see constellations anymore. We saw the galactic arm. In the city, you only see a few stars. Lighting is key to visibility.
I read somewhere that Jim Lovell was telling how in the Apollo 13 emergency rescue and return to earth there was a time where they had to fire rockets to line up the ship in between the moon and earth. They had to try and do it without the computer and they were going to try and navigate by constellation. The problem being they could not tell where the constellations were as it looked like SOLID STARS. They saw so many stars they saw all of them . He said the only thing they could go by was the earth and moon.
The cameras from the Apollo missions werent good enough to see all those tiny dots. Even some cameras nowadays on earth have trouble seeing some. The biggest factor is light pollution from the sun. The sun is too bright to allow other stars to be seen easily, since there's nothing blocking sunlight in space. I think I remember hearing somewhere that when the astronauts of Apollo went behind the moon, they could see the most brilliant stars of all, since there was no sunlight to blot out the other stars.
The Hassleblad cameras used on the moon were plenty capable of exposing for the stars. To do so would require a very long exposure and a tripod which they didn't have.
I really enjoyed that, thanks. And I even began getting like evil tingles (ya know, like when you’re watching a scary movie) when they started describing the black velvet looking texture of the rest of space above them
@@officialinterstellarnews Absolutely. Agreed. The nature of the unknown; particularly with astronomy, is pretty astounding and scary. Like how black holes defy the laws of physics. Or how dark energy and dark matter are just vague labels we've assigned to hypothetical forms of matter that we in no way understand, but do know that one makes up for nearly 85% of all universes matter, and the other is unexplainably making everything everywhere continually expand out, at insane and increasing speeds...... really freaks me out.
@@officialinterstellarnews A quick question I totally believe we went to the moon and I fully understand the limitations of dynamic range of a photograph or video, not allowing that extreme of dynamic light range. It is interesting though that we have hundreds of hours of video of spacewalks and every 45 minutes the astronauts go into darkness and you still don't see the stars. Why is that?
Read Darren Romano's comments. It explains why photos taken on the Moon and in orbit around Earth by the astronauts DO NOT show the stars! Space telescopes have hardware to get around the glare issue.
I am a Ham Radio operator and we are able to talk to the astronauts aboard the International space station. I will wait for their next pass and ask them if they see the stars.
THAT IS SO COOL! Here's one... did you know it's possible to see the ISS from Earth of you look thorough a good quality telescope? I even see one picture that the photographer claims shows an astronaut doing a spacewalk outsided the ISS. So, conceivably you could see AND talk to someone up there.
0:48 we can be told pretty much anything and we’ll have to reason it in our minds since none of us can actually goto space and take pictures for ourselves
The effect still applies here on Earth. Go to an event at an outdoor stadium at night, under stadium lights. Take photos of the event which also show the sky. You're not going to see stars in the pictures. Consider that the Sun is a lot brighter than stadium lights.
@@maxfan1591 false, since we have an actual atmosphere, the effects can look the same but it isn’t EXACTLY the same furthermore all I’m saying here is regardless of this information we still have to accept whatever we are told since there is no way for us to experience some of these things for ourselves and generally speaking the government lies, not that they’re lying about this but until an ACTUAL scientist conducts ACTUAL RESEARCH on the MOON regarding the matter, everything said about it is just a theory or hypothesis… those aren’t facts
Greenport, Long island, NY had the most beautiful starry night sky I’d ever seen. Away from the city lights So many stars were visible it was an amazing experience for me ☺️
Pretty cool explaining. Also, I was lucky to live in the middle of nowhere. I didn't know not being able to see stars at night was rare. Grew up in a place when I saw stars nightly.
Boy, you answered a question that plagued me forever! So, the Sun cuts out our view, no matter what. We need the shadow of night even up there to see the stars. BTW, if the images of the moon landing had been faked, I think the "makers" would have assumed we viewers would expect to see the stars and therefore would have "included" a starry sky, to make it presumably convincing.
You gave the best explanation I've ever saw. It's still so bizarre to me that people can still believe the landing was fake, or that the earth is flat. All the proof has been given. Thank you for such an amazing explanation. I always wondered why it was pitch black in space, but on the ground on earth, you could see stars quite well
@@JaySingh-fv3tr they recently sent a satellite around the moon, then used the excuse that they had poor cameras when asked why they hadn’t filmed the landing locations. Who on earth spends billions of dollars on a project to film the moon from its orbit, and then fit poor cameras? Surely, considering the controversy, they’d at least fit one decent camera that could focus on places of interest?
@@Malpriorvids it's all a mockery they know loads of dummies will continue making excuses for them, they could end the debate with a live record, but they don't want to give the game away
Thank you. You explained it well. a camera like my D750 can shoot the stars requiring that I find a rare place of minimal light pollution. Then with a tripod, fast lens and proper settings It becomes a reality only after a 20 second exposure.
The only time I was amazed by the cosmos was on a cold winter night in the heart of the Sierra Nevada mountains. I never had seen so many stars before. The snow on the mountain was literately bathed in starlight. That was a very exhilarating experience.
It’s the same thing like when you in the city and you don’t see too many stars because the city is so bright. also as a photographer lease with film, we had filters so we could adjust for the really bright light against the darker light so it would black out the bright area, allowing the darker area to be exposed, and you also have to have very long exposures on a tripod, etc., to see it because, the other items that are not as bright a long time to get the light on or you can use the same filters on a digital camera on the digital surface for it to record. Whereas to get the brighter light very short, very fast because the lights are bright it’ll be like looking at the sun eclipse the outer part you can see the inner part is black, and meanwhile, you can make yourself blind doing it. So you have to look at something. that looks black but is not black and if you look away and bring the dark light down and make it make it darker and the light and the darker areas make it light then you’ll be able to see it. It takes specialized filters and exposures.
For skeptics an easier experiment. Try to spot stars in a blue day (no clouds between you and the stars). Now wait to the night (you are now in shadow part of the earth). EASY it happens every day 😅
When I went to Ecuador & the Galapagos in 2018, school science trip, we went to a beach , we did something similar. No light objects & let our eyes adjust to the stars 😍 I’ve done the same in the states but there you could see constellations 🌌
@MushiGang correct, but look how bright the earth in that frame, that's what blown out means exactly. Later camera auto adjusts exposure for earth, and we lose stars. Best example in that video 😊
An astronomy professor of mine asked our class to think about about a version of this same question - why, if there are billions of stars in the observable universe, isn’t our night sky lit up with total brightness from them? The discussion led to his explanation that if we could position our eyes perfectly still for hours, our motionless retina would perceive more light that we now do. Steadily the weak light from stars at greater distances would register on the retina. I decided to test this out, and on a clear night I lay in my yard and remained as frozen as I could for several minutes. Sure enough a few more stars showed up.
In New York City even if it’s night, you can’t see any stars because of the city lights. And some people think you’d be able to see stars with the sun in the sky and a planet being lit up by the sun
2am this morning, everyone was asleep, it was dark, the street lamps were on, yet the moon cast my shadow. Now I know it wasn’t actually nighttime but daytime. Today I’m going to see how much daytime I get after the sun has set. I’m expecting at least another 8 hours.
@@officialinterstellarnews I am sure we can capture the star while traversing space with multi camera system and algorithm picture to mesh 2 source of picture and combining it like what you explain to be still able to see brightest object and the star in the screen of future space cockpit
Ya'll can go up to space, I'll stay down here. 😅 Space is a little terrifying to me, and the idea of things going wrong with the rocket or the landing back to earth provides enough existential dread to keep me grounded. But if the technology ever becomes as safe as a plane ride, I'd be willing to go then. Until then, I can always check out channels like this. 😁
Great comment, look at peoples behavior even during a plane ride, still gonna be nervous, now watch the iss jokers juggling fruit, laughing and joking around like no care in the world! It's so obviously fake!
I grew up desperately wanting to travel in space, following every Apollo and Skylab mission with passion. In more recent years, I have written sci fi about space travel, and that has fulfilled my wishes. No need to go up. Realizing what using the bathroom in zero g would be all about, as well as the possibility of throwing up a lot have taken much of the luster off it.
Well, it's kind of like going stargazing in a brightly lit city vs. doing it in a remote area. You see the night sky in all its glory without the light pollution. In space and in the moon, you don't have the atmosphere to scatter that light, but the intense glare from the sun is what will block your view of the stars.
@@ellenrodriguez-mb7xi it's not because they're very far away. It's because they're very dim, so it's hard to capture them. Since the cameras' exposure is set to daytime, it wont be able to capture the stars. At night, on earth, your eyes adapt to the low luminosity, so your pupils increase and it makes you capture more light, making you see the stars.
@@ellenrodriguez-mb7xi Simple, los gases que se encuentran en la atmósfera se comportan como un tipo de lente que deja que entre la cantidad exacta de luz que nos permite ver las estrellas.
This video was well-rounded, informative & well-spoken. You covered all the basics. As an avid astronomy nerd myself, you have earned a new subscriber 👍🏻
If they were going to do a conspiracy to fake the moon landing, wouldn't they just say "oh yeah! we saw all the stars it was beautiful!" Then what would the conspiracy theorists say? They would be confirming what those theorists thought they would see.
I'm not very familiar with this topic, but it seems like I've seen stars in the pictures that come back from the Hubble space telescope, and I just looked at a picture from the ISS that showed stars, even thought it was facing directly into the sun's rays. Can anyone tell me what might be different about those scenarios? Thank you!
The Hubble is looking out into the darkness of space where stars can be seen. Around any of the outer planets Hubble would not see stars around the planets because the exposure is set to see the planet not the stars behind it. If you wanted to include the stars in a picture with a planet from Hubble the planet would be over exposed. If you saw a picture looking into the sun with stars also visible then it was altered picture. The stars were added in later in processing.
The Apollo astronauts said it was so black that their depth perception senses went strange and they had to look away and back towards the light. Does nobody ever read the transcripts?
I was at the beach facing east. There was a beautiful Moon rising before sunset, so I thought I'd take a picture with my iPhone X. When I looked later, I discovered I couldn't see the Moon in the image. I thought that was quite odd. It had been a big, bright, full Moon. Perhaps what you are talking about - aperture, exposure, and ISO - is the explanation.
Woah man! this question was popping in my mind for quite a long time and finally i know the answer. I just thought that no one would have noticed this 🙃🔥💯

Because they film on simulation sites mixed with miniature models in the dark room... and few CGI animated video. Plus some augmented virtual reality... Cheap thousand dollars mockup in the desert, some post processing... just change the sky from blue to orange and you have mars mission....
@@weird3604 I am not flat earther. Flat earth mania was launched in 2015 over youtube to discredit fake cosmic missions. As for physics... get real. To this day nobody gives exact explanation of how and what is gravity. What are mechanics of gravity. Gravity is effect and not a force. Its combination of several factors. Mostly paramagnetism, diamagnetism and static charge attractions. And final component in the soup 🍲 is motion. Newtonian gravity is the correct. No such thing as spacetime warp like Einstein propose. There is actual connection, a string. Sun 🌞 holds earth by magnetism. Planet orbits are locked in magnetic equilibrium.
On the moon, the process is a little different than on the Earth, however. Even though the sky was black when the pictures were taken, it doesn't mean it was nighttime. The moon doesn't have an atmosphere, and therefore even though the sun is still lighting up the lunar surface, there is no blue sky to be seen. The surface of the moon was "incredibly bright,". Therefore, when taking a picture, the astronauts would have to make the shutter speed fast and narrow the camera's aperture to get a clear photo. By preventing loads of light from coming in and blurring the shots, the stars were omitted simply due to their light not being captured.
My first guess was "well, it's day. You don't see stars during the day" so I got confused when you started talking about cameras until you said the actual reason.
@Nikki Namikaze-Uchiha-Hatake But the moon _is_ a rotating object divided into night and day. Everyone who has seen the moon knows that it's not always night there, otherwise we wouldn't have seen it.
Such a great explanation and thank you for it. I have family who believes they never went to the moon. But this explains so well why they can't see the stars while they were on the moon. Thank you!
the space is so dark that we forget that when we're seeing the bright side of the earth we are in the daytime too, and just like on earth you can't see stars during the daytime

@@chrism3784 Man I want to experience that.
Not really because there is atmosphere here to scatter light, not atmosphere in space
The cameras from the Apollo missions werent good enough to see all those tiny dots. Even some cameras nowadays on earth have trouble seeing some. The biggest factor is light pollution from the sun. The sun is too bright to allow other stars to be seen easily, since there's nothing blocking sunlight in space. I think I remember hearing somewhere that when the astronauts of Apollo went behind the moon, they could see the most brilliant stars of all, since there was no sunlight to blot out the other stars.
And yet they forgot to video tape their orbit around the backside of the Moon.What no cameras aboard? FE'ers aren't drinking the Koolaid.
The Hassleblad cameras used on the moon were plenty capable of exposing for the stars. To do so would require a very long exposure and a tripod which they didn't have.
So where's the photos?
@@TomGrubbe NASA I'll equipped them.
The moon doesn't have an atmosphere to pollute with light ,so all you need is Shade ...to SEE the Stars . Was there shade ?
I really enjoyed that, thanks. And I even began getting like evil tingles (ya know, like when you’re watching a scary movie) when they started describing the black velvet looking texture of the rest of space above them
Was a pleasure to make it! Space is pretty terrifying. I get the same feeling sometimes when I look at certain photos.
@@officialinterstellarnews Absolutely. Agreed. The nature of the unknown; particularly with astronomy, is pretty astounding and scary. Like how black holes defy the laws of physics. Or how dark energy and dark matter are just vague labels we've assigned to hypothetical forms of matter that we in no way understand, but do know that one makes up for nearly 85% of all universes matter, and the other is unexplainably making everything everywhere continually expand out, at insane and increasing speeds...... really freaks me out.
You mean goosebumps?💀
@@officialinterstellarnews A quick question I totally believe we went to the moon and I fully understand the limitations of dynamic range of a photograph or video, not allowing that extreme of dynamic light range. It is interesting though that we have hundreds of hours of video of spacewalks and every 45 minutes the astronauts go into darkness and you still don't see the stars. Why is that?
I had the same feeling. It must have been an awe inspiring kind of deep terror they were feeling. At least, I think that's how I would have felt.
Most of us can't even really see stars on the surface due to light. I've been out in rural Nevada. There's so many stars in the sky it's insane.
An astronaut photographer would really capture some amazing shots in space.
Read Darren Romano's comments.
It explains why photos taken on the Moon and in orbit around Earth by the astronauts DO NOT show the stars!
Space telescopes have hardware to get around the glare issue.
Space telescopes already exist. Like hubble
In a nutshell, you can't see starlight while under direct sunlight. Wow, mind blown.
I am a Ham Radio operator and we are able to talk to the astronauts aboard the International space station. I will wait for their next pass and ask them if they see the stars.
THAT IS SO COOL!
Here's one... did you know it's possible to see the ISS from Earth of you look thorough a good quality telescope? I even see one picture that the photographer claims shows an astronaut doing a spacewalk outsided the ISS. So, conceivably you could see AND talk to someone up there.
no u not
Easiest way to understand this is that you can't see the stars during the day and it was daytime on the Moon when they were there.
0:48 we can be told pretty much anything and we’ll have to reason it in our minds since none of us can actually goto space and take pictures for ourselves
The effect still applies here on Earth. Go to an event at an outdoor stadium at night, under stadium lights. Take photos of the event which also show the sky. You're not going to see stars in the pictures. Consider that the Sun is a lot brighter than stadium lights.
@@maxfan1591 false, since we have an actual atmosphere, the effects can look the same but it isn’t EXACTLY the same furthermore all I’m saying here is regardless of this information we still have to accept whatever we are told since there is no way for us to experience some of these things for ourselves and generally speaking the government lies, not that they’re lying about this but until an ACTUAL scientist conducts ACTUAL RESEARCH on the MOON regarding the matter, everything said about it is just a theory or hypothesis… those aren’t facts
The ending made me shiver. I would love so much to see the universe from above earth but I will never have to millions for it.
Greenport, Long island, NY had the most beautiful starry night sky I’d ever seen. Away from the city lights So many stars were visible it was an amazing experience for me ☺️
Makes perfect sense, what can we see of the universe during the day, aside from the earth, the moon and the sun? Night sky on reveals itself at night.
Pretty cool explaining.
Also, I was lucky to live in the middle of nowhere. I didn't know not being able to see stars at night was rare. Grew up in a place when I saw stars nightly.
This isn't difficult to understand but some people just refuse to believe the explanation.
Sounds very true to me! Dark places = see stars and bright places = see NO stars 🤩👍
Same reason you can't see stars in space is the same reason you can't see stars during day. It's f-ing bright
As someone who lives in Southern Arizona, the stars here are beautiful at night as we don't have much light pollution
I've been through Southern Arizona and Southern California in the desert regions and the stars were magnificent.
Boy, you answered a question that plagued me forever! So, the Sun cuts out our view, no matter what. We need the shadow of night even up there to see the stars. BTW, if the images of the moon landing had been faked, I think the "makers" would have assumed we viewers would expect to see the stars and therefore would have "included" a starry sky, to make it presumably convincing.
You gave the best explanation I've ever saw. It's still so bizarre to me that people can still believe the landing was fake, or that the earth is flat. All the proof has been given. Thank you for such an amazing explanation. I always wondered why it was pitch black in space, but on the ground on earth, you could see stars quite well
People are not mugs! You need more than cgi, data, formulas and numbers how about some actual real footage!
@@JaySingh-fv3tr they recently sent a satellite around the moon, then used the excuse that they had poor cameras when asked why they hadn’t filmed the landing locations.
Who on earth spends billions of dollars on a project to film the moon from its orbit, and then fit poor cameras? Surely, considering the controversy, they’d at least fit one decent camera that could focus on places of interest?
@@Malpriorvids it's all a mockery they know loads of dummies will continue making excuses for them, they could end the debate with a live record, but they don't want to give the game away
Buzz Auldron (idk how to spell his name) already came out and explained there was no moon landing
You attracted all the crazies with this one lol
W presentation, this should be 1M views
Thank you. You explained it well.
a camera like my D750 can shoot the stars requiring that I find a rare place of minimal light pollution.
Then with a tripod, fast lens and proper settings It becomes a reality only after a 20 second exposure.
You should have 1 mil subscribers by now. You’re doing great man
I was over here thinking I saw stars in every one of those photos. Then I realized that was dust on my laptop screen lol
Any night sky photographer knows this. Thanks for explaining this to the public. This is very simple but still not understood by the public. ❤
The only time I was amazed by the cosmos was on a cold winter night in the heart of the Sierra Nevada mountains. I never had seen so many stars before. The snow on the mountain was literately bathed in starlight. That was a very exhilarating experience.
you're criminally underrated man
Hopefully not for long. Appreciate you! 🙏🏻
Keep this style up! Want to see more!
We’ll try!
It’s the same thing like when you in the city and you don’t see too many stars because the city is so bright. also as a photographer lease with film, we had filters so we could adjust for the really bright light against the darker light so it would black out the bright area, allowing the darker area to be exposed, and you also have to have very long exposures on a tripod, etc., to see it because, the other items that are not as bright a long time to get the light on or you can use the same filters on a digital camera on the digital surface for it to record. Whereas to get the brighter light very short, very fast because the lights are bright it’ll be like looking at the sun eclipse the outer part you can see the inner part is black, and meanwhile, you can make yourself blind doing it. So you have to look at something. that looks black but is not black and if you look away and bring the dark light down and make it make it darker and the light and the darker areas make it light then you’ll be able to see it. It takes specialized filters and exposures.
For skeptics an easier experiment. Try to spot stars in a blue day (no clouds between you and the stars). Now wait to the night (you are now in shadow part of the earth). EASY it happens every day 😅
But they will still deny this. 😆
When I went to Ecuador & the Galapagos in 2018, school science trip, we went to a beach , we did something similar. No light objects & let our eyes adjust to the stars 😍 I’ve done the same in the states but there you could see constellations 🌌
correction: micheal collins never landed on the moon. he was still in the command module so they both could dock properly.
The fact that he was floating loads off miles away in emptyness all alone is a terrifying idea.
@@JelleW2404 yeah
@guenthersteiner9252 It definitely would give me a weird feeling In the gut but also I bet it was beautiful outside!
Thanks!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh my god, this question has been answered so many times.
It's truly beautiful. I really wish to see those beautiful stars.
I swear when the image is “too blown out” you can see the stars. 1:34
@MushiGang correct, but look how bright the earth in that frame, that's what blown out means exactly. Later camera auto adjusts exposure for earth, and we lose stars. Best example in that video 😊
An astronomy professor of mine asked our class to think about about a version of this same question - why, if there are billions of stars in the observable universe, isn’t our night sky lit up with total brightness from them?
The discussion led to his explanation that if we could position our eyes perfectly still for hours, our motionless retina would perceive more light that we now do. Steadily the weak light from stars at greater distances would register on the retina.
I decided to test this out, and on a clear night I lay in my yard and remained as frozen as I could for several minutes. Sure enough a few more stars showed up.
When you are in a plane at night, you can totally see the sky covered with stars.
Though limited in small window still its breathtaking.
In New York City even if it’s night, you can’t see any stars because of the city lights. And some people think you’d be able to see stars with the sun in the sky and a planet being lit up by the sun
If you see shadows, it's not night time, it's day time. You can't see the stars during the day. It's really that simple.
2am this morning, everyone was asleep, it was dark, the street lamps were on, yet the moon cast my shadow. Now I know it wasn’t actually nighttime but daytime. Today I’m going to see how much daytime I get after the sun has set. I’m expecting at least another 8 hours.
@@Malpriorvids If you are on the moon, can it cast a shadow on itself?
@@Malpriorvids the hell??
You can't see stars in the day because the atmosphere scatters the sun light
I truly enjoyed this video. I hope we see more deep dives like this in the future.🙏
Oh they are coming my friend. Cooking them up now
How beautiful is earth? Precious blue dot.
It’s the best. 😊
Thank you for the 8 min. 📷 Introduction to basic photography 101 📷 chapter 1 lighting, understanding exposure values and their effects.
So, it boils down to how many stars are visible from earth during the day and how many at night?
It's the same in space.
It was because the starlight was too dim for those cameras to pick up,you'll note the same effect in the Voyager photos from the eighties as well.
All about shutter speed and as far as voyager they were making sure the file sizes are as small as possible as well for transmission. Lots of reasons
Best answer. However, if the camera had been aimed straight up at the stars, the exposure could have been adjusted to easily capture the stars.
@@officialinterstellarnews I am sure we can capture the star while traversing space with multi camera system and algorithm picture to mesh 2 source of picture and combining it like what you explain to be still able to see brightest object and the star in the screen of future space cockpit
Ya'll can go up to space, I'll stay down here. 😅 Space is a little terrifying to me, and the idea of things going wrong with the rocket or the landing back to earth provides enough existential dread to keep me grounded. But if the technology ever becomes as safe as a plane ride, I'd be willing to go then. Until then, I can always check out channels like this. 😁
Great comment, look at peoples behavior even during a plane ride, still gonna be nervous, now watch the iss jokers juggling fruit, laughing and joking around like no care in the world! It's so obviously fake!
Lol they couldn't go if they wanted to
I would go in a heartbeat. IDC where. moon, mars, idc
ONG 💀
I grew up desperately wanting to travel in space, following every Apollo and Skylab mission with passion. In more recent years, I have written sci fi about space travel, and that has fulfilled my wishes. No need to go up. Realizing what using the bathroom in zero g would be all about, as well as the possibility of throwing up a lot have taken much of the luster off it.
It's amazing how much comfort stars add to space. Empty black space is terrifying.
I like how you conveniently cut out the part where Michael Collins said "I don't remember seeing any [stars]".
the comment section is a conspiracy goldmine
Well, it's kind of like going stargazing in a brightly lit city vs. doing it in a remote area. You see the night sky in all its glory without the light pollution. In space and in the moon, you don't have the atmosphere to scatter that light, but the intense glare from the sun is what will block your view of the stars.
Baloney!
No atmosphere on the Moon.Stars should be visible .Try aiming cameras away from the Sun's influence.Globeheads are so gullible.
Its all about light pollution.
@@MegaDudeman21 Sheep support of lies.
@@ronpapi9539 decent bait, 6/10.
My thoughts before the video: it's because the stars are very, very far away
You’re not wrong.
then why on earth you can see them ?
@@ellenrodriguez-mb7xi exactly, it's all bs
@@ellenrodriguez-mb7xi it's not because they're very far away. It's because they're very dim, so it's hard to capture them. Since the cameras' exposure is set to daytime, it wont be able to capture the stars. At night, on earth, your eyes adapt to the low luminosity, so your pupils increase and it makes you capture more light, making you see the stars.
@@ellenrodriguez-mb7xi Simple, los gases que se encuentran en la atmósfera se comportan como un tipo de lente que deja que entre la cantidad exacta de luz que nos permite ver las estrellas.
Thanks for the video. Lots of good historic information in there. Thank you.
This video was well-rounded, informative & well-spoken. You covered all the basics. As an avid astronomy nerd myself, you have earned a new subscriber 👍🏻
If they were going to do a conspiracy to fake the moon landing, wouldn't they just say "oh yeah! we saw all the stars it was beautiful!" Then what would the conspiracy theorists say? They would be confirming what those theorists thought they would see.
Yep, if it was fake, they sure did a shitty job of faking it!😂😂
For the same reason the pictures I take of the Moon are way smaller than what my 👀 see
I'm not very familiar with this topic, but it seems like I've seen stars in the pictures that come back from the Hubble space telescope, and I just looked at a picture from the ISS that showed stars, even thought it was facing directly into the sun's rays. Can anyone tell me what might be different about those scenarios? Thank you!
The Hubble is looking out into the darkness of space where stars can be seen. Around any of the outer planets Hubble would not see stars around the planets because the exposure is set to see the planet not the stars behind it. If you wanted to include the stars in a picture with a planet from Hubble the planet would be over exposed.
If you saw a picture looking into the sun with stars also visible then it was altered picture. The stars were added in later in processing.
Basically the same question as "why don't we see stars when it's day outside"
I never thought about how disconcerting it would be to travel into space and not see the stars.
The Apollo astronauts said it was so black that their depth perception senses went strange and they had to look away and back towards the light. Does nobody ever read the transcripts?
I was at the beach facing east. There was a beautiful Moon rising before sunset, so I thought I'd take a picture with my iPhone X. When I looked later, I discovered I couldn't see the Moon in the image. I thought that was quite odd. It had been a big, bright, full Moon. Perhaps what you are talking about - aperture, exposure, and ISO - is the explanation.
I think people forget how our atmosphere kinda magnify things for us
First Comment
I bet it really felt like "The Truman Show" effect when they first went to space and could only see a void of utter blackness

To this day nobody gives exact explanation of how and what is gravity. What are mechanics of gravity. Gravity is effect and not a force. Its combination of several factors. Mostly paramagnetism, diamagnetism and static charge attractions. And final component in the soup 🍲 is motion. Newtonian gravity is the correct. No such thing as spacetime warp like Einstein propose. There is actual connection, a string. Sun 🌞 holds earth by magnetism. Planet orbits are locked in magnetic equilibrium.

I honestly can't wait for people to land and stay on moon to view the beautiful starts and milky way when the time comes.
You'll be long gone from this Realm and NASA will still be postponing the voyage to the Moon.Sad!
On the moon, the process is a little different than on the Earth, however.
Even though the sky was black when the pictures were taken, it doesn't mean it was nighttime.
The moon doesn't have an atmosphere, and therefore even though the sun is still lighting up the lunar surface, there is no blue sky to be seen.
The surface of the moon was "incredibly bright,".
Therefore, when taking a picture, the astronauts would have to make the shutter speed fast and narrow the camera's aperture to get a clear photo. By preventing loads of light from coming in and blurring the shots, the stars were omitted simply due to their light not being captured.
My first guess was "well, it's day. You don't see stars during the day" so I got confused when you started talking about cameras until you said the actual reason.
@Nikki Namikaze-Uchiha-Hatake But the moon _is_ a rotating object divided into night and day. Everyone who has seen the moon knows that it's not always night there, otherwise we wouldn't have seen it.
Excellent video. Good job.
What a video!🧎🏽♂️ I'm glad I came here from your short!
Thank you so much!
Such a great explanation and thank you for it. I have family who believes they never went to the moon. But this explains so well why they can't see the stars while they were on the moon. Thank you!
Without an atmosphere to filter the light you can't see a star twinkle
I was questioning this less than a week ago and now this shows up in my recommendation, how convenient!
Even with this simple explanation, flater will never understand nor want to understand.
From the beginning I told people that Moon AND Earth could wash out the stars. Pretty simple concept.
Same reason you can't see stars in the daylight

Thank you! The goal is longer in the future. Working on that now
By 0:09, he said all 3 Apollo 11 astronauts landed on the moon when, in fact.only 2 did.
Everything else is correct, and I'm not a flat earther.
the space is so dark that we forget that when we're seeing the bright side of the earth we are in the daytime too, and just like on earth you can't see stars during the daytime
So we can see stars in space, our camera's can't. The title should have been,"why can't camera's see in space".
