Where Are The Stars????
Added 2022-12-11 20:51:55 +0000 UTCYou can't see the stars in the middle of the day. Why is this such a confusing idea?

Incidentally, one piece of footage from the just completed Artemi I mission, shot by one of Orion engineering cameras, had aperture wide enough that some of the brightest stars were visible, if only just. Scott Manley pointed it out as a curiosity. Also, there is at least one photo from Apollo missions, with shadowed side of the LEM in front, where one or two stars can be discerned.

2022-12-12 01:16:33 +0000 UTCIn Arthur C Clarke's 1961 book 'A Fall Of Moondust' he has a news cameraman on the moon using a special filter to show the stars, because that's what people expect to see. He anticipated this misconception at the dawn of the space age and 61 years later it's still with us. Depressing isn't it?
