Stars aren't visible because the camera is adjusted to capture the bright lunar surface, not the fainter stars. The strong sunlight reflecting off the Moon's surface and the lack of an atmosphere to diffuse light make the stars too dim to appear in such footage. https://www.astronomy.com/space-exploration/why-do-pictures-of-earth-taken-from-the-moon-show-a-black-sky-with-no-stars/ https://www.planetary.org/articles/why-are-there-no-stars

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1756907738154565824
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
