Last night the moon was bright and shining.
Literal
Last-night [topic-は] moon [subject-が] shine-[and-て] bright-[past-かった].
Another literary weather observation. 輝く ('to shine, radiate') paired with 明るい ('bright') gives a soft cadence of observation. The te-form 輝いて here chains as a manner/condition — 'shining, [and] was bright.' Simple but evocative — the kind of sentence worth memorizing for descriptive writing.
