If you blink really fast the heat generated by your eyelids makes a very bright light that is very similar to sun rays.

Fortunately for us the 4 astronauts were very well trained with this technique so they each took turns at lighting up the moon while the others took photographs.

In other news it was probably not a good idea to call it the dark side of the moon hence why it's refer to as the far side of the moon.

Good luck with the blinking, stay hydrated.

blink fast, heat, bright light

Source? I've never heard of this before and can't fathom how that might be possible.
