I\'ve been told the reason it looks that way. Donno if its true but it sounds good to me.
That image of saturn was a "long exposure", something like 72 hours or more. That\'s why everything looks so smooth.

^^ also could be there\'s no air pollution in outer space..everything you see is crystal clear.

c\'mon people i know that!

i didn\'t think i\'d have to explain it! sheesh! i used to live in the urban area of jersey..newark...Now with all the bright lights & POLLUTION you can\'t see any of the stars..when i would travel down south i/e north carolina you could see all the stars with your eye..even mars if you looked close enough..because of less lights & air pollution..there i explained it.

In order to get stars the camera would have to have an exposure FAR longer than what this one was. THe planet would be a ton brighter than a star so the planet would be blown out if you saw stars. Then you would definitely know it was fake.

Explanation: Variable star V838 Monocerotis lies near the edge of our Milky Way Galaxy, about 20,000 light-years from the Sun. Still, ever since a sudden outburst was detected in January 2002, this enigmatic star has taken the center of an astronomical stage while researchers try to understand where it fits into the picture of stellar evolution. As light from the stellar flash echoes across pre-existing dust shells around V838 Mon, its appearance changes dramatically. Revealed in a sharp snapshot recorded in February by the Hubble\'s Advanced Camera for Surveys, this portion of the dust shell is about six light-years in diameter. But because light reflected from the dust follows only a slightly indirect path compared to the direct line-of-sight to the star, the light echoes visible now are only lagging about two years behind the outburst itself. Astronomers expect the expanding echoes to continue to light up the dusty environs of V838 Mon for at least the rest of the current decade.

Cool how they use the 4 point star filter to shoot snapshots of stars...
