Okay, we can give light to Middle-Earth... but the Noldor aren't allowed to look at it!

They need to find a wavelength that Noldor retinas can't perceive.

Yay! Continuation.

The destruction of the trees and creation of Sun and Moon are a strange point in the History of Middle Earth

Was it in part divine judgement, since the vala had come to neglect the rest of the world? When I first read it many years ago, I thought so...

That's actually explicit in the Book of Lost Tales version.

"Behold! O my people, a time of darkness has come upon us, and yet I have it in mind that this is not without the desire of Ilúvatar. For the Gods had well-nigh forgot the world that lies without expectant of better days, and of Men, Ilúvatar's younger sons that soon must come."
