Moonlight Festival Garden Powerlifting Venue
Moonlight consists of mostly sunlight (with little earthlight) reflected from the parts of the Moon's surface where the Sun's light strikes. History The ancient Greek philosopher Anaxagoras was aware that "''the sun provides the moon with its brightness''". Zhang Heng's treatise "''The Spiritual Constitution of the Universe''" concludes that the light of the moon comes from the Sun. He writes that the Sun and Moon are "like fire and water" where the Sun "gives out light" and the Moon "reflects it". Illumination The intensity of moonlight varies greatly depending on the lunar phase, but even the full moon typically provides only about 0.05–0.1 lux illumination. When a full Moon around perigee (a "supermoon") is viewed around upper culmination from the tropics, the illuminance can reach up to 0.32 lux. From Earth, the apparent magnitude of the full Moon is only about that of the Sun. The color of moonlight, particularly around full moon, appears bluish to the h ...
