I think I'm not smart enough to understand this

I think they’re saying the moon isn’t glowing with the astronauts on it.

But ... it's clearly illuminated

they expect it to be as bright as if you stood on one of those LED lights


but it looked like grey

But it’s not like a night sun

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Neither is the moon

It would be a lot brighter if you opened up the aperture

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

No it’s just not plugged in. Checkmate
