I haven’t had my coffee this morning, so will someone remind me why there are no visible stars in the background?
Air brushed out so as to not show the three flying saucers?
How ya doing Abathar?
You getting any spring time yet?
A few weeks ago I drove i-75 to Michigans upper and went by your way.
Miserable then.
The same reason you don’t see it in this one:

The reflected light from the satellite is bright enough to overpower the light emitted from the stars, as far as the camera is concerned.
Comparable to light pollution and why you see more stars at night in the country than in town.
They’re all at home hung over from the after-Oscar parties.
The focus of the camera and the exposure. If the exposure were long enough to make out the stars in the background, the light reflecting off the Earth and the station would blow-out the picture.
