In both translations, the light is specifically attributed to the moon itself
The people who were seeing the visions did not know how to explain it. The science of that time said that the moon gave its own light. He saw in his vision that the Sun got dark, and AFTER that, the moon not longer was bright. According to the science of that time, the moon stopped giving its light.
AA, this verse is something that Jesus himself is saying. By saying that Jesus doesn’t know how to explain it, or that Jesus is just saying what he sees without understanding it, you are saying that Jesus isn’t the omniscient God. If you want to convince people that Jesus was just some bloke in the wilderness, you are welcome to do so, but to first claim that the Bible predicts science and then to call Jesus ignorant when you are challenged really doesn’t support your claim.
Take care-
