I remember hearing about research that suggested that the amount of earth's reflected radiation or "earthlight" found by measuring the light intensity on the dark side of the moon has increased. ❋ Unknown (2004)
The final 60-90 seconds as Atlantis hits MECO and breaks free from the fuel tank in the darkness of space lit only by its own engines and the reflection of earthlight -- the sun reflected off the quarter-earth visible in frame. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The outer door opened, and the dusty moonscape lay before them, glimmering in the earthlight. ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1968)
At some signal, floodlights around the lip of the crater were switched on, and the bright earthlight was obliterated by a far more brilliant glare. ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1968)
Even in the brilliant earthlight, it was hard to see the object clearly; his first impression was of a flat rectangle that might have been cut out of carbon paper; it seemed to have no thickness at all. ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1968)
