Why are there no stars?

They say something about the camera not picking up the light, but that just.. doesn't sound right. I'm not a conspiracist or anything, but something in me just doesn't feel right about some of the pics they have.

I mean, if you look out into the night sky on Earth, you can barely make out the stars in the sky, usually because of how dense and polluted our atmosphere is, right?

So what's the excuse here? Our moon doesn't have an atmosphere.. so shouldn't stars be visible as all fuck?

Just think about thousands of years ago, when people used to watch the stars and map them and tell stories from them, etc.. They could see them more clear than anyone today can, so..

What the fuck?
