    Ok yeah you’d definitely want any story to have the sun disappear take place at night, with a full moon, possibly a large harvest moon for ambiance. The moon disappears and within minutes you’re bombarded with calls…

    Well technically there’d be earth glow so it wouldn’t be totally dark.

      Earthshine from where? That’s still reflected sunlight! Maybe a tiny amount of cityshine, but the light pollution from those same cities will far outshine that.

        Like you said, artificial lighting. Technically you’d get some IR from the planet itself which could get converted to visible light but definitely not nearly enough to be noticeable. You’d also probably get about 3 seconds of real reflected sunlight before that also goes away.

  Doubt anyone would notice the moon getting dim when the fucking sun disappears in the same second.
