You're right, I don't know the answer, LOL
My guess is it's because they're focused on the object, not the stars, so you don't see the stars because they're out of focus. hmmm I really don't know.

Yeah, just like if you went outside at night and took a pic with a normal camera of the starry sky it would come out all black.

You need the right lens, focus and exposure time.

There would be a significant 'glow' coming from the sunlight reflecting off the earth for the astronauts aswel which would affect things too.

Good job ATLANTIS crew! good luck and get home safe.
