You know how you can't see as many stars in the city as you can in the country? like say if are in the City, you look up, and you can see stars and stuff, but when you go out to farm land there's so many more stars that are visible?
That's what's happening here. The light bouncing off Artemis-1's fuselage is causing the light coming from the stars we'd expect to see to appear much much dimmer, due to the camera not taking in light for as long given the brightness of Artemis-1. It's only going to caputre the really large, bright objects in the frame, i.e. the Earth, Moon, and Artemis-1.
