Why are there no stars seen in the moon landing pictures?

Answer 1

Perhaps, astronauts land on Moon when the alignment is nearly Moon-Earth-Sun. The landing site is on Sunlit Moon and it is Moon day then. It is like day for us.. So, stars are invisible.

The lack of stars in moon landing pictures is due to the camera settings and exposure adjustments required to capture the astronauts and lunar surface properly. The bright lunar landscape and astronauts required short exposure times, which made the faint stars undetectable in the background. Additionally, the lack of atmosphere on the moon eliminates the scattering of light, further reducing star visibility.
