Defining the perceived appearance of a moon from a planetary surface
I have a homebrew setting with a moon that has some specific features orbiting an Earth sized planet, and I'm trying to find out how these features would affect how the moon looks from the surface of said planet during the night.
It's a binary star system, with two sun-like stars roughly 1.5 AU apart surrounded by a cloud of argon gas. The planet has the same mass and atmospheric composition as Earth, and is roughly 4 AU away from the stars. The moon is essentially the same as Luna in every way, except that it has a large obsidian core with a thick layer of colorless and transparent petalite.
TL;DR: What does this moon look like at night?
Thank you for any help provided!
