And it’s very different from a blue sky. I mean, when the surface of the Moon is illuminated, and it’s bright, and there are shadows and contrasts, etc, and then you see the ridgelines, and above that is a black sky, that is a whole new thing for the mind to handle. And that’s why we say, Ooh this is spectacular.” David Scott Literature: Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report, appendix D, figure D-15; Full Moon plate 90
