On the bright lunar morning, the sky is always dark due to the absent of atmosphere which is as black as midnight. Isn’t it an astronomer’s paradise? No. Not a single star was visible. The glaring, sunlit ground ruined the man’s night vision. Only Earth itself is bright enough to be seen, luminous blue and white, hanging overhead.
Based on this conclusion, we know that a dark sky is not enough. A dark environment is needed too. However, we can’t really find a dark site in urban areas due to the high growing light pollution.
What about on the lunar night? Could an astronomer bear the cold temperature which may be as low as 40 K? I wonder anyone of us could. Don’t you think that a special designed suit is able to eliminate this problem? Everyone of them must feel incovenient in observing, I guess. What about establishing an observatory on the Moon? I am sure that space based telescope like HST is much more better as the observatory will be an easy target for the asteroid.
Thanks to Maximilion for bug hunting. 
I take it this is fiction? It’s quite normal not to see stars when the Sun is up. How about stepping over the terminator into the dark side of the moon?

Great, you got it!
By the way, how do you get to here?
Searched for ‘astronomy blogs’.
BTW I think if we put a telescope on the moon we’ll put it in a heated building. Bit more convenient
But I think it will be a remote-controlled telescope like the HST, and any moon base will be built where it’s suitable to build a moon base and not a telescope site.
I love the HST, and the HST has an advantage: it can look anywhere, while a moon based telescope can only see half the sky (like any telescope on earth).
I have no doubts a moon based telescope can deliver superior images, provided the logistics of sending a big mirror there can be overcome…..
I see. It has been a month since your last visit.
Frankly speaking, I do prefer space telescopes as they have the best incoming lights quality. A ground telescope on Moon which doesn’t has atmosphere to protect the telescope from asteroids or meteors is in a dangerous situation.
