This morning as I was going to work, the full moon was in the sky and very bright. I could clearly see the dark spots on it. I got my phone out (after stopping) and thought to get a picture, but no matter how I tried to focus the camera, it couldn’t see the moon as anything but a bright ball of light, like looking into a flashlight. Why was it so difficult for my phone to capture this image that my eye could see so clearly?

You camera is seeing the whole picture and going “wow, it’s really dark here, I’ll adjust the settings so the picture doesn’t come out too dark”. But, in that context, the Moon becomes a very bright thing that ends up overexposed.
