So you know that exceptionally bright moon we had tonight...

Did you know that when shining with a thrower (30kcd) onto the moon, the moon will receive 1 lumen from it?

However the moon is so big and that 1 lumen is distributed over a large area, so this results in only 10^14 lux unnoticeable.

I would have never thought that. Amazing!

Don’t forget that it would be 1 lumen spread out over the entire surface of the moon!
