Stop me if I'm boring yall, but here's another, unrelated item.
I asked an astronaut on Twitter what a starfield actually looks like outside the
window of a space shuttle.
This was his answer:

Cool, also interesting to see the EXIF data. I wonder how long you can
do the exposure for before the stars start to get trails (without any
sophisticated motorised mounts)?

You might be interested in Paolo Nespoli's MagISStra flickr page

Thanks for the link: inspiring. Interestingly, these show exactly the problem.
I have been living in areas of massive light pollution for decades and so I have
no real idea of what space looks like anymore. We have the Hubble images
available to us, which provide a "ridiculous" number of stars that you know the
human eye cannot see. So that created problems for me in deciding how to do CG
space scenes: how many stars are actually seen out there? I guess the number
can be "zero" if you have a bright object or planet anywhere in the scene, which
makes it even harder to figure out how to "CG" it.

Here is another one you might find interesting. It's where I got the
link to the flickr page.

It is not a problem for me. I find reality overrated. ;-)

I thought stars aren't supposed to show up in shots like this. Now I'm
confused

When you are over the DAY side of the earth, no.
Relatively long exposure over the night side of the earth. We can see
that the camera had some rotation around a point in the top left area.
The bright red to yellow lines in the bottom, under the arc, are city
lights.
The green to orange arc is light scattered by the athmosphere.
