Polarization effect.
Maximum light polarization occurs 90° from a light source. The fish-eye lens is a great tool to demonstrate this. Note that the sky becomes lighter again as you go farther away from the Sun. I love demonstrating this to students who visit the observatory. None of them have ever noticed this effect.
The same holds true for Moonlight. The night sky becomes darker as you move 90° from the Moon. Good to know next time there are meteor showers during a bright Moon!
