I can't remember the last time I saw a reasonably dark side of a planet - until tonight. For several months, at least, the dark side of planets get very light for me when I attempt to land on them. It may appear pitch black from space, but on the ground it is almost daylight bright - no need for lights on the SRV. A few nights ago I was in the map and exited to my ship sitting on a ground pad. It was dark for about a second, and then got brighter. I saved a vid and finally got around to cutting and cropping it. It's not very good, but only 2 seconds, but you can see it ramp up from very dark to pretty bright. This normally takes several seconds in 5-6 steps while approaching the ground.

Then tonight I landed on a planet and it stayed dark. It wasn't black, but there may have been another sun or something nearby. It was totally unexpected so I wasn't paying that much attention, and I forgot to see what happened when I took off. Anyway, it was back to being bright again when I visited other planets.
Also, it doesn't seem to make a difference whether I'm in the Rift or using my monitor.
So is this happening with everybody? Is there something I can do about it?
Thanks.
