Why Can't You See Stars From The Moon

When you look up at the night sky you can clearly see innumerable stars. But people ask all the time how come the black skies of the Moon contain no stars in the moon landing photos or photos from other missions? This is the vide for you!

So astronauts in space can see stars when they're in the Earth's or the moon's shadow? Also can stars be seen at night on Mars? Would be fun to know what the constellations of Mars look like...

[Eric_Malbos]

Very well explained and useful for many. I would have opt for a more space music style, the music you used mislead me into thinking that there was an ad or a commercial running on the background somewhere...

[PokeyJokey]

Thats actually very cool! Keep up the amazing videos! :)

[solox]

i know how the flag was waving, neil armstrong farted on it

[Peta]

What about the 2 astronauts that say u can see stars during the daylight too?

[navdeepsengh]

Keep up the concise conceptual & fun videos like this.

[boterlettersukkel]

I always ask them if they see stars at noon.
And if the answer no I ask them if they see them with shades on.
Still no..
So why would an astronaut on the dayside of the moon with his sunvisor down see any stars? 🤔
They never get it.

Why does the Apollo mission look sooo fake?

what abt light pollution? their is not light pollution on the moon, also you are supposed to be able to see the stars during the daytime very very clearly.

[monetroshi]

Why did you say the moon walking was during the day? I assumed the side that faces us is always day and the dark side always night. Also bright light from one source wouldn’t prevent you from seeing stars. I go start gazing and it’s hard to find 0 light but still some light won’t stop you from seeing stars

[EzequielMercado-bxun]

The light reflects off our oceans water onto those boulders that spin around earth with us.

[Ricobaca]

Because the moon also has a daytime and a nighttime. They were there only during the daytime.



But wait, the moon doesn't have an atmosphere....Doesn't matter, the Sun light was too bright for the naked eye to see stars which are faint during moon day time. You would have to use a telescope.

[jessiejeanne]

I thought photons don't require a medium (like sound) in order to travel. Shouldn't the stars have been brilliant? (Never should've made "Eyes Wide Shut", that was blatant self deletion by people who can make it look natural.)

[briankane]

Did you HAVE to include the full Greek Chorus OVER the commentary? 🤔🙄

[MangoFandangoBB]

Since the far side of the moon is in perpetual night, such like the "side" of the moon facing us is in perpetual daylight, then is it possible to see stars from that side?

If not, why not? Fascinating take. Thanks.

[sandhyavinodperkewar]

Does any body know why in the moon landing photos flag sways as if there is wind blowing?
thats too a controversial Thats because of the low gravity.
The flag post was put with an impact, inertia would make the flag fly, low gravity would take time for that flag to settle🙂

[tinkmarshino]

That is one fact that people even today just do not get.. I think (personally) that these folks just like to stir the pot.. like flat earthers they like to create controversy.. Although there are some I am sure that just lack the ability to understand it all.. This was a good one Ardit.. carry on my friend!

[JayAr-uq]

and why do astronauts not walk on the moon at night? curious

[karthikraman]

Please dont use music during the video...Amazing content
