a lot of "unearthly lighting" is because of regolith' contra-reflexivity

it reflects light in (roughly) the direction of light source

so you have /even bigger/ contrast between shadow and its border than you'd expect from "no air to soften shadows with dispersed light"

Is that different than rerto-reflection?
