If your the astronaut, you could be seeing the stars. Our eyes are better than cameras.
In pictures, stars don't show up because of the distant lights of the stars isn't brighter than the closest object. Same way when you take a picture on a clear night, you can physically see stars in the backdrop but your camera will struggle to capture them unless shutter time is adjusted to let in more light to be able to capture them.
Hope this helps.
