Even if it were an error, that's what should happen anyway.  If you
are looking towards the sun, its light is intense enough to make the
surrounding stars invisible.  A problem that I have with every sci-fi
show/movie I've seen is that the fx guys always ignore this.  Most of
the time in scifi you can see the stars thru the planet's atmosphere on
the bright side.  It makes things look too fake.
