Your "glaring" omissions are glaring only for us Earthbound creatures
grown up on Hollywood special effects. Stars are so faint compared to
a sunlit planet as to be practically invisible (have you noticed that
few stars are visible in photographs from the Moon or the space
shuttles?) And the visible atmosphere of a planet is so thin (in the
case of Earth, less than 1% of its radius) that you need to be in
really low orbit to see it.
Again, though, it's up to how much artistic license you desire.
Hollywood special effects are so cool.
