Is it true that astronauts can see stars from the lunar surface?
Unclear. Two sources indicate Apollo astronauts did not see stars by eye from the sunlit lunar surface, with one astronaut noting some stars visible only while in shadow. These address naked-eye visibility under daylight conditions rather than whether stars can be seen from the lunar surface generally.
