      Yup, it’s the sun behind Earth. The shadow of the Moon is quite small and often there is only partial shadow (except for total eclipses). Look at any eclipse path, it’s really thin; if the Moon cast such a big shadow everyone would get a total eclipse often.

        Oh so I was right. The light is just visible because of what you said before. Thank you.
