If we can see the Milky Way on earth when there’s dark skies, why can’t we see it from the moon? All the videos and photos I’ve seen, it’s just black with no stars.
In: Physics
All the videos and photos you’ve seen were taken during the lunar daytime, when the lunar surface is sitting in direct sunlight—meaning all the camera equipment is adjusted to daylight settings. There may not be an atmosphere to glow blue and drown out the stars, but the stars are still impossibly faint compared to the ground in direct sunlight.
