Moon is a Luminary ONLY BECAUSE MOON reflects sunlight
Siriusly false premise
Moon REFLECTS light of the Sun - has no light otherwise
It's Sun that "sends out so much light"
so as a consequence Moon as well as Mercury
and Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn are all visible
Clearly by any definition
"The Luminary commonly referred to as the Moon"
nevertheless is well documented as
"A Luminary that illuminates by reflecting the light of the Sun"
It's still a Luminary, sending more light than the Planets, regardless of whether or not it's reflected.
