Here's a question which I'm sure has a simple answer but thought it might be fun to ask.

The moon has an albedo of 0.1 meaning it reflects 10% of the light it receives from the sun.

In the sky, the moon and the sun occupy roughly the same area.

There are obviously lots of warnings about not viewing the sun through a telescope.

Why are there not similar warnings for viewing the moon? If it reflects 10% of the light is receives and occupies the same area in the sky as the sun, then surely viewing the moon at 100x magnification is equally as dangerous as viewing the sun at 10x.....???
