b) So full of sunlight reflected from the moon's surface and from the earth that no stars can be seen.
c) Black, but the stars would be too dim for the astronauts to see thru their tinted helmets.
d) None of the above.
NASA claims the correct answer is b, which is why the astronauts never talked about the stars. Is NASA correct? Or is the PDF file correct? Can you figure it out?
