Leonardo da Vinci first suggested that this shadow part of the crescent moon is visible because of sunlight rebounding off the Earth and then re-transmitted on our one satellite.

Light travels at a speed per second roughly similar to our distance from the moon.

It was wonderful to imagine that the energy received here, even as I stood gazing, was re-presented out there a little over a second later.
