If the moon landing is real how come there are no stars visible ?

    The Moon's surface was so sun-bright, any star light was "drowned out" and therefore is NOT clearly seen on many of the NASA Apollo Moon mission photos.

    If you are in a brightly lit area of the earth and look up you see few if any but the brightest stars if you go out in a country area with no lights you see many stars that is because your eyes close or drop the fstop of your eye in bright areas the same happens with a camera the moon is so reflective it is too bright except when the shutter is mostly closed this let's in only bright light eliminating most stars there is no if about the landing being real there is only misinformation and ignorance

    All of the dopey “fake” moon landing claims have been thoroughly debunked. They’re as dumb as the assertion that George Bush was the mastermind behind 9/11.

    Because if the Sun's Light being Reflected back off the Moon's

    Surface

    Just like in daytime on Earth, the only Star Visible is the Sun

    On a shadowed side of the Moon, plenty of stars could be seen but nobody has ventured there of course... why ?

    When the Dark side of the Moon is turned towards Earth, there is a certain illumination due to Earthshine

    They ran out of budget by that time to add stars to the set.

    If you take an ordinary photo at night on Earth of a scene on the ground, you can't see stars.  If stars were visible on the photos of the Apollo missions, the surface would be overexposed and invisible.  Just think about what happens in everyday life.

    It was daytime on the Moon's surface and the camera was adjusted accordingly. Photos of the lunar surface were of far more importance than photos of the stars that were visible from it. 

     

    It the astronauts wanted to take pictures of the stars from the lunar surface, all they would have to do is wait two or three weeks until the Moon was in its third quarter phase when the Sun was no longer shining at the landing location. Due to food, oxygen, supply, and weight limits, that was not an option.

    It's daytime, silly. Stars are for night time.
