[Phys-l] the Moon



I'm teaching about the Moon now in my astronomy class. I mentioned about
the lack of atmosphere there and that stars don't twinkle. One thing
that's bothered me for some time is why you never see stars photographed
from the Moon. I've seen the Earth photographed from the Moon, but there
are no stars in the image. How can this be? Light from the Earth gets in
the way? Something else?
