Original Note:
The moon’s light comes from the Sun. It reflects sunlight, which is why it appears to shine when viewed from Earth. On the moon’s surface, astronauts don’t see it “shine” because the surface isn’t luminous; they experience direct sunlight instead. https://science.nasa.gov/moon/top-moon-questions/#h-does-the-moon-make-its-own-light-like-the-sun-does
