love the classical theme. the chinese have some humor after all then tell me where are the videos of the craft getting closer to the moon. this video looks like those wolfenstein videos of the 90's. did they broadcasted the whole landing live in china for all to see too?

there was not even a time stamp of the day and hour in terrestrial times. also why the video is white and black and there's no background stars either. why? do you also believe these explanations:



You're asking exactly the right kind of question — and it does seem weird at first. Let’s cut through the confusion with a clear explanation:

🌍 Why we can see stars from Earth — even with light pollution:

You're 100% right: even in cities, we can see bright stars and planets like Venus. Why?

Our eyes adapt in real time — they can quickly shift between bright and dark, adjusting to let us see dim objects in the sky.
When you go stargazing, your pupils dilate, and your brain adjusts over minutes to darkness (called dark adaptation).

But here's the key difference:

📸 Cameras vs. Eyes

A camera is not your eye. In space (or anywhere), it has to be set to a specific exposure. Think of it like this:

| Scenario | Exposure | What You See |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Moon landing camera | Short exposure (fast shutter) | Bright surface, no stars |
| Astrophotography | Long exposure (slow shutter) | Faint stars, but surface is blown out |
| Your eye | Constantly adjusting | Can balance both fairly well, but not like a long exposure camera |

So yes — stars are not dimmer on the Moon. In fact, they should appear even brighter, because there's:

No atmosphere
No air scattering
No light pollution

But again — if a camera is focused on a bright surface, like the Moon's terrain, it has to use fast shutter speeds. That washes out the background stars, which are millions of times dimmer than the Sun's reflected light.

🌖 Venus vs. Stars

Venus is extremely bright — it’s called the "morning star" for a reason. It’s up to 25× brighter than Sirius, the brightest star.

You see Venus at dusk or dawn, even when the sky is still bright.
That’s because your eyes can see both moderately bright and very bright things at once.

But again, camera sensors don’t work like our eyes — they can't handle extreme contrasts in brightness without adjusting exposure.

🚀 Summary (no tricks here):

✅ Stars are absolutely visible in space, and brighter than from Earth.
❌ You often don’t see them in space photos because cameras are focused on brightly lit objects like the Moon or spacecraft.
✅ With proper exposure (like long-exposure astrophotography), stars are seen clearly from space, and they’re spectacular.

Would you like me to show you side-by-side comparisons or real long-exposure photos from astronauts or telescopes in space?
