Science gets a bad rep for being boring, difficult and for very smart people (see: nerds). But that doesn't have to be the case. At ScienceABC we believe that if science is communicated simply and made relatable and fun, it can be for everyone. As Micheal Jackson said best, "as simple as ABC." At 'The Short Answer,' we aim to address intriguing questions with the help of scientific explanations that may not have crossed your mind. We employ our distinctive ScienceABC approach to provide answers to these questions. So, join us for some simple science with a whole lot of fun thrown in!

Why Can't You See Stars In Space Pictures If They Are Visible In The Night Sky?

In this episode of "The Short Answer," presented by ScienceABC, we delve into a curious phenomenon: "Why Can't You See Stars in Space Pictures If They Are Visible in the Night Sky?" We explore the fascinating world of space photography and unravel why stunning images of celestial bodies like Earth, the moon, and Mars often lack the twinkling stars we see from our backyards. Through a clear explanation of camera exposure settings—aperture, ISO, and shutter speed—we explain how these play a crucial role in capturing detailed images of bright celestial objects while leaving distant stars invisible. Join us as we demystify this often misunderstood aspect of astrophotography and learn why genuine space photos don’t always match our expectations.
