But not by much longer. People on the other side of the world or connected to satellites monitoring sunspots would notice pretty much immediately after the light ceases to reach the earth and would tell everyone else over the internet

No dude, it's only a difference of 1.3 seconds, faster then the Internet unfortunately.

the other side of the world wouldn't notice there suddenly being no light anymore if there wasn't light in the first place.

they would notice that the moon disappeared though
