For instance, as dim as the sun is way out at Pluto, I doubt it would appear as bright as those famous heart photos make it appear.
You might be surprised, the human eye has an enormous capacity to make things in dim light appear bright. It basically operates on a logarithmic scale. So the surface of the of Pluto would be about as well-lit as earth at sunset or on a stormy day. It'd look reasonably bright, because your eyes would adjust to the dim light.
There's nothing here!
