I'm still waiting for them to publish a timelapse of the eclipse itself in HD. I watched it live, looked unreal.

Why can we see so many stars from earth but see no stars around earth or the moon??

NASA's job is to do cutting edge things. Whether it is the Voyager probes, human spaceflight or even impacting an asteroid we are always seeing things that have never been done before. So when we see pictures of new things, it can be rather mind boggling. I think this is where you get the doubters from. For some it is hard to understand there are things in this universe that are beyond our reference here on Earth. It's new and never seen before and that takes an adaptive mind ready for new things. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks like that and cannot see beyond their frame of reference.

[MattJohno]

Crazy to think that those are the only worlds humanity has set foot on.
