Sooooo....did they edit the stars out? Slightly confused. It says no 3D modeling. Where are the stars?

The camera used to take the photos is short exposure, so it doesn't absorb any light coming from stars. at least that's why i think it is

Maybe because all the surfaces look really smooth and unnatural (e.g. the rings). This is because, although it's made of rocks and ice etc., you have to remember that it is so large that the ship is actually still very far away in reality, so you can't see that kind of detail on anything.

To be honest the vid about saturn does look like some cheap CGI.

@ whoever was asking about the stars: Stars don't shine as brightly in space - our atmosphere distorts and 'smudges' the light from stars before it gets to our eyes, making them appear brighter. Weirdly the stars are dimmer in space, hence why they don't show up in the photographs. You need a much longer exposure to see proper detail.
