Yes. You should check out the NASA site. They've got a good deal of footage and most of it has stars.

According to a shuttle astronaut who gave a talk that I attended, yes. The view is about as good as you would get from a mountain top on a really clear night. But you need to take all the same measures to see them in space that you do on the ground. Choose a dark site, which in the case of the shuttle means a time when it is on the night side of Earth in its orbit. You need to turn off all the lights in the shuttle, so all the work needs to be completed and all the other astronauts have to agree. And you need to let your eyes adapt to the dark, which takes about 20 minutes. So it isn't like Star Trek where the stars are clearly visible out the window with all the lights in the room on. You can't see the stars through the window from in the shuttle with all the lights on any better than you an see them through the window from inside your house at night with all the lights on.

Hi:
The answer is Yes but like the guy said about the space shuttle you have to have the lights off because of lights bouncing off the windows but when your out of the shuttle doing a EVA you can see the stars and you will see a lot more of them due to lack of gas in outer space. In fact the Deep Space One Spacecraft uses the stars for navigation. So if it can see the stars So can you, if your up in outer space this is. and think about this if you can see the stars on Earth. you certainly can see them in outer space.
I hope this answers your question

Yes, you can see stars in space, in fact because there is no atmosphere in space, you can see far more of them than on Earth. Probably you can't see constellations as easily, though!

yes,you can see stars from space but they won't twinkle as they do when you see them from earth. this is probably because there are no interferences caused by the atmosphere and other weather conditions.

yes. much better than on earth. especially if there is another planetary body like th e earth or the moon between you and the sun. that's why the hubble and other telescopes are launched into space.

Yes, but only the Big dipper and Jupiter and Mars. Too much light pollution where I live. Sometimes I can't even see the moon...
