Reply to comment by Sweaty-Emergency-493 in Orion flies far beyond the Moon, returns an instantly iconic photo — "It’s really hard to articulate what the feeling is." by marketrent

No sometimes it is day but there is always a dark sky bc there is no atmosphere. The way it orbits, the days and nights are ~29 1/2 Earth days long. Also the way it rotates, the same side always faces earth so the earth is either always in the sky or it never is depending on where you are on the moon

You'd be able to see stars during the day, but only in special conditions where the sunlight is not visible and your eyes have had a chance to adjust.

EDIT: the above commenter removed their mention of stars, making me look like a crazy person.
