I'm not sure why I don't know this but what was the official explanation as to why, when they take pictures a film in space you can't see the stars in the back ground

Thanks for your time

If you are refering to the moon landings were faked conspiracy then the answer is a fast exposure time for the camera. see:http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/tv/foxapollo.h tml#stars

with a slower exposure time you would be able to see the stars. Photography follows pretty much the same rules wherever you are.

Generally for stars to appear you need a long exposure because of the small amount of light. Try this, go out to a dark area at night, ie no street lights, look up you should be able to see the stars, now take a picture. Very few will come out in the picture.

if you take a picture of stars using a digital, you wil have to use an ultra high reoloution, as the stars are "tiny" , when viewed from earth. the higher the resolution, the more sars you will be able to see. if using a normal camers, you should try and prolong the exposoure time, as this works by letting in the stars small light ammounts.

I didn't have the whole moon landing thing in mind really I just wondered why it was. Thanks for your answers.
