When it gets dark enough, the lights begin to turn on. They run dusk to dawn and they're surprisingly bright and cast quite a bit of light. It took a little to adjust the lights in various directions to shed light on the house and landscaping out front. I ended up buying three more to help fill in the far left end and hit the tree trunk from both sides.

We always see the same face of the Moon from Earth—the “lunar nearside.” Each month, as day and night sweep across the lunar nearside, the sunlit part of our view takes on a series of familiar shapes: crescent, half-moon, full, and more. Moon phases are really just the overlap between lunar daylight and the Moon’s Earth-facing side.

From here on Earth, the sunlit part of the Moon usually looks bright, almost white. This is an illusion. The brightness of the Sun’s reflected light makes it difficult to see the Moon’s actual color from a distance. A closer look reveals that much of the Moon’s scenery comes in shades of dark gray, like rocks found near volcanoes on our own world. The Moon has volcanic rock from ancient lava flows ― and these dark-colored materials absorb most of the visible light that reaches them.

As the plants grow and mature, we'll have to keep adjusting them a bit, but love how they make everything shine in the night.

After a day of sunshine, I tucked them into different places around the front landscape beds eyeballing about where I thought they would need to go and waited until dark to get out and adjust their angles, heights, etc.

We're Zach and Kiersten. Thanks for following along as we worked to make the very 2000s home we bought in 2020 more “us.” For three years we've shared everything from quick fixes to more permanent changes, along with projects you can do in your own home. Zach shared all his lawn and garden advice as he started over on the new yard, too.

Telescopes and robotic explorers let us look even more carefully at the Moon’s albedo patterns. Images captured by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) show small variations in great detail. Scientists use albedo data and other evidence to figure out what the lunar landscape is made of.

I bought these spotlights at Home Depot on impulse and decided that for $7 I could see if they worked without being out any real time or money. I grabbed five of them to start with and they were so simple to use. All it took was turning them on and setting them out in the sun to charge up for the first day.

One major difference from these to professional lighting is how big they are. Professional lighting usually uses a wired system with smaller lights. These cheap guys need to have an active solar panel on top of the light, so they aren't the most inconspicuous things. I was always afraid they'd stick out like a sore thumb in the landscape beds, but they really don't bother me like I thought they would. If you're looking for them, you can see them, but if you're not, they just blend right in and the bigger our plants get, the more they'll blend.

The Moon does not make its own light —”moonlight” is actually reflected sunlight. At any moment, half of the Moon is brightly sunlit (this is the day side). The other half is in the dark (this is the night side). Throughout the month, as the Moon rotates and orbits, day and night occur on different parts of its surface, just like on Earth. Unlike our planet, though, the Moon takes a whole month to complete one rotation. This means that lunar day and night are each about two Earth weeks long.

Cool part with doing lighting this way is we can keep adding on a the landscaping changes with another $7 light or two. Eventually we may want to create a wired system that throws light in other directions, but for now, I think these are a great solution that can affordably make your home look like a million bucks!

So, how does the dark, volcanic Moon outshine Venus in our sky? It all comes down to distance. The Moon orbits Earth at an average distance of about 239,000 miles (385,000 kilometers). That’s a long way by human standards, but almost nothing compared to the tens of millions of miles that separate Earth and Venus. Thanks to this relative closeness, a full moon directs enough sunlight towards our planet to cast sharp shadows on the ground. The Moon’s albedo may be tiny, but even a small amount of reflected sunshine is enough to make the Moon seem brilliant from our perspective on Earth.

More professional lighting solutions would provide more even coverage and they'd be able to also figure out how to light up our top floor peak where our Primary Bedroom Window is. But for $60, I think it looks like a much more expensive upgrade!

Here's a look at our house in the dark with just the house lights on. We have an overhead light over the entryway and three outdoor house lights flanking the driveway (one of my first blog posts was sharing the saga we went through to replace those so click here to give that a read!). Don't mind my crappy phone photo, but you get the gist!

If you’ve ever found a face, an animal, or another image in the Moon’s patterns of darker and lighter gray, you have compared albedos for yourself! The Moon’s ancient, hardened volcanic seas are made of basalt. These areas reflect less light (have lower albedo). The lunar highlands look brighter because they contain more reflective (or higher-albedo) rocks, like anorthosite.

The house lights put off pretty good light for the drive and walkway, but that's it. The landscaping and rest of the house are pretty dang dark. Which is probably why the deer love to sit and snack on the far side of that front bed at night next to the lawn.

Overall, only about one-tenth of the sunlight that hits the Moon is reflected back into space. This ratio of reflected light is called albedo. For comparison, our watery planet bounces about three-tenths of incoming rays back into space. Venus has an even higher albedo than Earth, reflecting well over half of the sunlight that reaches it.

We do a lot of walking around the neighborhood. With a 15-year old dog with potty problems, we're constantly walking him in hopes that it will save our carpets, and our sanity. So we're often walking him at night before bed, which gives us a different view of the neighborhood. We pass a lot of beautiful homes on our walk, many who have professional exterior landscape lighting that light up their homes in a way that really adds a lot of style and presence. Beyond the look, I think the added light also increases safety. While I'd love to add some professional lighting to our exterior, it's not in the budget right now since we're about to embark on our big pool project. BUT, I made a quick impulse buy with some cheap plastic solar lights and have been shocked at how big of an impact they have made to our nighttime curb appeal.
