I noticed when watching the live stream video from the ISS there were no stars visible, in the same way we see them from earth. The ISS was in a night zone of the earth. Does it have to do with light?
In: Earth Science
The light from the stars is often too weak and dim to be easily picked up on camera, especially if there is something much brighter in the camera field. In order to just take a picture of the night sky it often requires a long exposure time. We can see the stars with our naked eyes because our eyes are much more sensitive than most cameras and are capable of fairly quick adjustments, allowing us to focus on the dim points of starlight.
