it's too fuzzy and too dark. and awesome viewpoint to take a picture from, but this particular pic didn't come out very well.

Do you realize that the subject of the photograph was over 200 miles away and moving at 17,000mph?

Awesome! 😀

Hell of a shot! Great job by the photog.

Why is the background all black?

Black power!



Um, probably because it's in space? 🙂
It probably had to do with the kind of exposure or filters used.

They were focused on the foreground, not the background.

Because you can't see stars in space.

im pretty sure you can, but only if you are away from the giant light objects in the sky relative to you when floating near the earth, as both the earth and sun (obviously) are throwing an insane amount of light at you from so little a distance. moon too depending on position.

if you were far enough away from other bright objects, I am sure you would have no problem.


oh and this is one of the things people said were wrong with the moon landing photos! Just goes to show that photos taken in/taken of objects in space will not so any stars in the background.

good photo!

Bah, this picture was taken in a studio in Arizona, like the moon landing. I don't think man has ever even been to space. It's all a conspiracy I tell ya.

It's actually basic photography. If you adjust the exposure so a bright object is properly exposed, dimmer objects will not be properly exposed.

How do you like my new solar arrays?

The cluelessness is very high in this post!

This is a picture taken from the ground with a relatively small telescope. (mirror is only 2 feet in diameter)

These guys wrote software that allowed them to track the objects precisely enough to take the picture without motion blur.
