Why Can't You See Stars In Space Pictures If They Are Visible In The Night Sky?
In this episode of "The Short Answer," presented by ScienceABC, we delve into a curious phenomenon: "Why Can't You See Stars in Space Pictures If They Are Visible in the Night Sky?" We explore the fascinating world of space photography and unravel why stunning images of celestial bodies like Earth, the moon, and Mars often lack the twinkling stars we see from our backyards. Through a clear explanation of camera exposure settings—aperture, ISO, and shutter speed—we explain how these play a crucial role in capturing detailed images of bright celestial objects while leaving distant stars invisible. Join us as we demystify this often misunderstood aspect of astrophotography and learn why genuine space photos don’t always match our expectations.
