Bug #5046
Sun shines through Minmus
100%
Description
So yesterday I launched a test vessel to try out mining. I landed there in the daylight, used solar panels to power it. I then separated the command pod and brought my brave miners back to Kerbin.
Later, I switched to the "debris" again only to find out it had been mining for days and continued to do so in the night. The gigantor panels faced the ground and read something like "direct sunlight, 0.43".
So it seems like the sun shines completely through Minmus. This kinda defeats the purpose of battery packs and fuel cells ;)

I've seen the same issue. It only occurs below ~1000m, so won't be seen when landing on higher altitude land. Also occurs in flight below 1000m
First seen myself in 1.0.2, and still in 1.0.4
