How could a planet have a sky without stars at night?

+0

Is it possible for a planet in our part of the galaxy to have a night without stars?

I'm looking for some kind of natural phenomena that would hide the stars, but allow the sun to rise and fall as normal. The atmosphere and day/night cycles should be unaffected.

It is the basis for a society that develops into the modern age without an interest in outer space, and is located relative near to our solar system. So that travelers from Earth make first contact to a modern society that had no idea there was an outer space.

This can be a solar system with only one planet.
