So the Moon's surface can reflect enough light to allow us to read by it here, 250,000 miles away, but not enough to be a suitable fill light to someone actually on the surface? Exactly. The best possible answer for "what is illuminating this astornaut in shadow" is "have you actually looked at the Moon at night?" |

I guess it is unsuitable because moon light is somehow special compared to earth light? Maybe earth light as well is also somehow special compared to sunlight. All I know is that I can read using my nightlight. My nightlight uses a bulb with a tungsten filament. I do know that tungsten light is different than sunlight. Yet sunlight shining down on the Moon is the same sunlight which shines down on the Earth. As I fall to sleep, I find my thoughts drifting away into my mind's twilight. Now I wonder...is twilight before dawn somehow special compared to twilight after sunset? |

I read the first book in the hopes of "so bad it's funny." Alas, what I got was "so bad I wanted to throw it across the room but it was a library book."
