why we see very few stars on spacewalk footages?

660 views

In a city with heavy light pollution, we can’t see most stars. In a clear dark night maybe in a rural area, we can see a lot more. This is a fact and I can confirm this myself.

But, why is it that we can’t see a whole lot more stars from the perspective of those who are actually in space? Shouldn’t they have a way clearer view?

Astronauts most definitely see stars when in space, but photos taken are usually of objects and people. You can find star photos taken by astronauts by searching for them. Unfortunately I don´t have a link to any.
