it's all about you?
what jives with this,
a fish tank with artificial lighting & a fake universe painted on three sides of it? where man can strut about considering himself as the most important thing there is in all that is?
or unfathomably great and powerful works stretched forth beyond all human comprehension, in the face of which man can do nothing but be humbled?
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;
What is man that You take thought of him,
And the son of man that You care for him?
(Psalm 8:3-4)

Of course! And I understand. Albeit, I am only an amateur when it comes to photography / videography.
Contrast is not a 'filter' that is placed between a light source and a light sensor -- it is an 'adjustment' to the image - after-the-fact of its being picked up by a digital light sensor and translated into digital data. A digital light sensor ( which I do know something about, from an electronics point-of-view ) still picks up the light that strikes it. Thus, it would appear in the digital data before any adjustments are made to it.
Now - admittedly - [ some / most? ] modern cameras are capable of making such "internal" adjustments. So - that would seem like a plausible explanation... However, cameras with such abilities can usually also be manually adjusted to extremes, also. Meaning that -- NASA could capture the stars if they really wanted to...
Yes, there are sometimes atmospheric light-and-shadow 'effects' on imagery being captured; however, where there is no atmosphere...
How is the vacuum of space going to prevent light from hitting a light sensor aimed continuously in the direction of that light?

The contrast I am referring to is the contrast in the scene - the dynamic range of the scene.
To properly expose for the earth (which is what is being done) the stars will not be visible in the same image because they are too dim.
I have never managed to take a properly exposed image of the moon where any stars were visible for the same reason.
Even when I could see them with the naked eye.
Your "logic" is based on ignorance only.

Contrast can be adjusted - remember?
And, it usually is - to the point that the Earth is "glowing" against a pitch-black background.
( Which is not the 'natural' unmodified light gradient experienced with the eyes. )
Then, you should learn how to [ more ] properly use your camera. Exposure is adjustable / controllable. A proper exposure set for the moon may affect the stars in your image, but the light from the stars can also be taken into account for the adjustment.
Like I said -- I am only an amateur [ photographer ]. However, I do understand the principles of light from a purely physics point-of-view -- enough ( I believe ) to say that - if you aim a light sensor at a light continuously ( even a dim one ) - you will pick up some light from it.

"If any man thinks he knows, he does not know as he should." If we think we know we stop learning: If the mind is flat and stationary, the person may be enjoying the attention from people trying to help and could be enabling: to remain in the center. This center being the fruit of knowledge of good and evil: the mind of the flesh, the fruit is idolatry, witchcraft...
