What would block a planet from seeing the stars?

As Luke says in an answer to this question, a species may never attempt space travel if they cannot see that there is something out there.

My question is just this; is that possible? Could a planet/solar system be wrapped in something that prevents the light of other stars from reaching the species? Could this be done without an artificial structure, such as that of the planet Krikkit? Assume this system has only the one planet orbiting the star, so the species doesn't try to go somewhere else in the system.
