Is moonlight safe? (UV rays?)
Hi there.
I was wondering if anyone knows if the moon reflects a non-trivial amount (by medical standards) of ultraviolet light from the sun. Is it safe to stare at the moon? Or can even a glance cause damage? (I tried to google for this but got too many aquarium light results, =p )

I doubt you will find much on the topic as it is not a concern.
