Why are there no stars in the sky in the pictures “supposedly” taken on the moon ?
Hello Henry: Time to go back to Photography 101…Notice how finely detailed the space suits on the astronauts look, etc… The camera lens is set for closeup work with fine/sharp focus at relatively short distances such as 20 to 30 Feet. With that setting objects that are millions of miles away would be totally blurred if visable at all. In addition, notice how brilliant (brightly lit up) the subjects are in those photos. So the exposure was very short. Light from the stars is very weak, relatively speaking, and longer exposures are needed to collect enough light from them to print on film…Remember that the intensity of light decreases with the square of distance – Physics 101. Sorry you used the word “supposedly.” Maybe now you will change that word to something like “uninformed” or “non professional.” Also note that this is about the 77th time I have answered this same exact question here on Yahoo Questions. So your question is not unique, or original.
