"After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance.
I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard,
and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does
not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is
indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have
no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft."

- Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853

The gibbous moon is an interesting comparison. The land surface of the Earth can be relatively close to the lunar albedo, compared with the clouds. When looking at specific locations relative to the sun, we can consider the reflectance since the albedo is more of an averaged quantity. At some point I may test my rendering software to show the DSCOVR view with the moon included.
