Impressive electrobleme, but.
The but is to not blinded by the light, but to consider what creates the light, that the light is a consequence of.
Then to consider the geometry involved and what is travelling upon the geometry.
IMHO, the alignments are not to do with visual, however awesome they are, and I doubt there would have been access for visual into the resonance chambers.
Today , the equinox is when the FIELD of the sun and earth are aligned, if You can imagine the field of the sun as a circuler extending field relative to the sun, and the field of the earth the same, then today they meet directly head on as such, two convex fields overlapping each other, and thus creating the geometry involved of such.
It is my opinion that it is these opposing fields that create light relative to the geometry that creates a stress in the fabric of universe, thus the light fades as You move away from the surface, because the stress is far more intense nearer the surface, this is both true for here and the sun.
The light on the moon is local also to the moon, but the geometry is different.
Anything launched out into space from earth will have a field similer to earth, but obviously smaller diameter, as is the moon, thus the light and temperatures will be different relative to the geometry.
What I referred to as the fabric of universe is imo a universal substance that all of space and mass are composed of, mass simply been this substance locally orientated.
All is one.
IMHO , this fabric of space is capable of multi dimensions been able to occupy the self same local, but on different geometric faces, the light is released from other dimensions.
At specific geometric alignments imho there is a passage way between dimensions, and that access is seperate from the light in that the geometry involved is not of a single spot on the surface.
