Default Can you read a book in a shadow on the Moon?


We had this discussion in a class last night. There is
no atmosphere to scatter light on the moon, so if you're in a
shadow, how pitch black is it? Will the light reflected/
scattered from the surface (albedo of the moon is 0.07, if
I recall right) be sufficient to light the page?
