NASA Astronaut Don Pettit shared magnificent images of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two dwarf galaxies from the Milky Way, with the extraordinary star photographs he took from the International Space Station (ISS).

NASA Astronaut Don Pettit has revealed how different the light conditions are in space with the photos he took from the International Space Station (ISS).
Although many people think that stars are not visible in space, this is not true. In space, many more stars can be observed because there is no effect of the atmosphere and light pollution.

However, the techniques used to take space photos usually cannot show the stars clearly enough. Pettit shared these time-exposure images he took on the ISS with his followers in a post on Instagram.

Stars are quite dim in space, and it can be difficult to photograph stars when trying to capture them in the same frame with brighter objects such as the planets and the Moon.
Pettit used high shutter speeds and short exposure times to overcome this challenge and achieved the best images.
Scientists are worried that satellites sent into space by mega constellations and private companies are causing light pollution in regions that were previously completely dark. The increase in artificial light in space could pose a danger to astronomical observations.
