With all these pics from the Artemis, including ones from the earth; why don't we see any satellites and other stuff that circles the earth? Are they too small to see at these distances? Still, i would expect some of them to at least glint in the sunlight.

Update; thanks for confirming it's indeed that they are too small to see. Also, i didn't think of the pixels, good point.

Because space is huge and satellites are tiny. It's like why you can't see a football on the ground from a commercial airliner
