Because once the sun goes down, the universe starts to burn through my curtains, setting my bed on fire.
I think CCP did a great job capturing the shiny, bright and colorful nature of the universe, where every system is lit up like a shopping mall before christmas.
Now, I know many players would NOT be happy with a realistic, dark, black/grey/white (stars aside) universe. But at least give people like me an option to maybe make it a bit darker, so we don't need shades when we turn our cameras towards somehow radiant dust nebulas on the skybox.

White knighting much?

Does OP understand that it's only dark because of our atmosphere...? There isn't some kind of galatic lightswitch, suns don't just instantly turn off (takes about a day, and you'll see it when it happens). The universe is a bright place.

If you don't like EVE's brightness, save up for a computer that doesn't run on potatoes and turn on the "sun occluded by objects" in graphics.

Umm, no.

While the night sky is far from dark, you won't see nebulas with your naked eye. It is an inky blackness with trillions of points of light.

True, but you also overlook the point that in EvE we aren't looking at the space surrounding us by anything as limited as the human eye.

Our camera drones and sensors are move advanced than anything available on the Hubble, so we see space in all of it's actual glory.

if you only knew....

New Eden is a Star Cluster... as such it has GAS CLOUDS. These clouds are what cause the coloration and refraction of light.

Unrealistic?

Reality is also unrealistic =)

False color image is false color.

I sometimes can't sleep unless I have the EVE music playing quietly lulling me to sleep.
