Brighter:Moon or Sun??

If our eyes could see high-energy radiation called gamma rays, the Moon would appear brighter than the Sun!  NASA's Fermy telescope reminds astronauts to withstand with gamma radiation on the lunar surface. Gamma-ray observations are not sensitive enough to clearly see the shape of the Moon’s disk or any surface features. Instead, Fermi’s Large Area Telescope (LAT) detects a prominent glow centered on the Moon’s position in the sky. #Artemis #NASA
