The Moon is NOT "luminous"; it does not shine with its own light. The light we see coming from the Moon is reflected sunlight.
On a related note, astronauts on the Moon have always landed during the lunar "day", which lasts for 14 days. But because the dark areas of the near side of the Moon are at the "full Earth", it will probably never be entirely dark. As the Earth is so much larger than the Moon, the reflected earthshine will be 5 to 10 times brighter than moonlight. Astronauts will probably have no trouble working by earthlight.
For A+ the answer is The moon does not produce light.
By definition, "luminous" means "giving off light". The moon has no light of it's own. It shines by reflected sunlight.
