I once had a similar thought: if we were to build stations/cities on the moon, you’d likely be able to see the light from them when they’re in shadow.

This would be kind of cool, but imagine you don’t know about people building cities on the moon and all you see are these glowing lines spreading across the moon. You’d probably think the moon was breaking apart or something. I’d imagine some “uncontacted tribes” would feel like it’s a sign of the end of the world.

On an unrelated note, this will be my last comment from lemm.ee
