BTW, notice how extremely dark and otherwise somewhat average coal
like 0.11 or slightly darker albedo that our extremely dusty old moon
really is, as having been clearly imaged within the very same FOV and
illuminated by the very same raw solar spectrum that's unavoidably
skewed by the excess amount of those violet and UV photons.

Imagine how much brighter than Earth the little pixel speck worth of
Venus is going to look.
