There are a few reasons why stars appear in photos of astronauts in space. First, the ISS and other spacecraft are located far above the Earth's atmosphere. This means that there is less interference from the atmosphere, which can scatter sunlight and make it difficult to see stars. Second, the ISS and other spacecraft are moving very quickly. This means that the camera's shutter speed is very short, which helps to freeze the motion of the stars and prevent them from blurring.
Finally, the ISS and other spacecraft are equipped with powerful cameras. These cameras are capable of capturing very faint objects, such as stars. As a result, astronauts are able to take beautiful photos of stars that would be impossible to see from Earth.
Here are a few examples of photos of stars taken by astronauts in space:

These photos are just a few examples of the many stunning images of stars that have been taken by astronauts in space. These images provide a unique perspective on the universe and inspire us to dream about the possibilities of space exploration.
