Before the days of science, people believe that the moon emits light. When astronauts traveled to the moon they testified that the moon does not emit light.
Scientist came up with the idea the moon is merely reflecting the light from the sun. Can anyone tell me which silly goat came up with this idea?

Dunno, I don't care who he is

The theory contradicts itself and yet we can accept it. If the moon reflects light then it would had been seen as emitting light.
It's not a theory, it's what was observed, long before a man sets his foot on the moon. That's why anybody with a telescope can see the moon's
surface but can't observe the sun directly.

Shine a torch into your eyes and it would be too much light for you. Even if this light is reflected into your eyes by a mirror it has the same effect.
Can't really make heads or tails with these statement, sorry...

I am also surprise astronauts accepted this theory. They had approached the moon and saw that it was lightless. It was not like approaching a mirror with a light beam shinning on it.
You betcha

What I cannot understand is as you approach the moon you can see that it does not emit any light. Here on the surface of earth you can see moon light.
Get a hold of a telescope, you'll see...

Those who are good in science please enlighten me. Thanks.
Not me, but Wiki might shed a clue...
