Half-light is a term used in several different contexts with varying meanings. 1) In literature or metaphorical sense, half-light often refers to a condition of partial illumination or obscurity, involving less than full daylight but more than darkness. This could also speak to states of indecision, partial knowledge, or ambiguity. 2) In astronomy and physics, half-light refers to the intermediate point between total light and total darkness. For instance, the half-light radius of a star or galaxy cluster signifies the radius within which half of the total light is emitted. 3) In photography, half-light can refer to the soft, diffused light often seen during dawn or dusk, or to a specific technique using partial lighting to create dramatic effects.
