For reference, Earth has an Albedo of 0.3. Being three times as reflective as the Moon, Earth reflects light back onto the Moon. This is why we can still see the Moon’s outline during New Moon. The light from the Earth reflects onto the Moon, which later reflects back to us. https://t.co/O3jCAfF2Iq — PolitiTweet.org

Albedo is a measurement of an object’s reflectivity. As a rule, bright objects reflect light and dark objects absorb it. The Moon has an Albedo of 0.1, meaning it reflects only 10% of the light shone on it and absorbs the other 90%. That’s as dark as asphalt! https://t.co/bmp3zqkxtL — PolitiTweet.org

The first person to discover the above fact about the Moon's outline was Leonardo Da Vinci. He actually sketched it in his notebook: https://t.co/Xxc2Hwp7PM — PolitiTweet.org
