It's something that emits its own light, and not just reflects it. An example of a natural source would be a star whereas the moon is not, even though it glows. The moon's light is due to reflection.

Fast moving and highly charged ionic particle also can emit their own light, or something that has electrons which go from a higher energy state to a lower energy state, even though that light isn't always visible.
