Ever notice? - There's no stars in any pictures of the Earth

Probably because it’s day on the Moon at that time.

Are you thinking "conspiracy"?

Oswald killed Kennedy

the backdrop is edited to be all black. that way your eyes are drawn to the earth and not distracted by the stars. duh

So you don't know how exposure works.

I know very well how exposure works, and that the cameras being used in space don't have the dynamic range to see a bright object and still be able to pick up the stars. That probably changes in the near future.

YouTube has plenty videos talking about this

It's really pretty amazing that Kubrick missed that detail in the earlier stage shots... but they obviously had to stick with it and then invent some fancy camera terms like exposure and shutter speed to hide the fact that he missed it.

A bunch of shenanigans.

The exposure time for the image — it’s actually three images: red, green and blue — was too short for any stars to be seen. Earth and the Moon were bright enough that a short-duration exposure was all that was needed. The brighter an object is, the shorter the exposure time required to capture an image of it. It’s similar to why you don’t really see stars in Apollo photos from the moon – the subjects being photographed were so much brighter than the background stars that the exposures weren’t long enough to capture the stars.

What city is that over?
