I think that if the sum lit jupiter I would expect it to light the moon
also in some comparable way. And I would expect to be blinded at some
point by the sun. What about the light that comes off off jupiter, I
assume you didn't use radiosity.

It is lit in a comparable way - but Amalthea's surface is very dark
(albedo 0.09)!

From Jupiter, the sun appears only one fifth as large as from Earth...
so at first, I even wondered whether it would show up at all - it's
hardly discernible from the background stars! Perhaps using Chris
Colefax' lens flare macros could help...

In fact I did! But, as I mentioned before, Amalthea is very dark...

A piece of coal may have a larger albedo!

Amalthéa is so dark, that you'd make it brighter by painting it all over with
your usual black paint. ;)
I think that Pluto's albedo is even lower...

actually, Pluto seems to be rather on the bright side of life as
concerns the albedo (about 0.5 with high variabilty across surface,
higher than Earth, according to most sources I could find). Of course,
it doesn't really get a lot of sunlight to appreciate it ;)
