Bingo. It'd be like the flame of a blowtorch casting a shadow.

If it's solid enough to stop solid objects, it can be solid enough to block light, surely.

Um... not to be argumenative here, but the sun obviously isnt casting any shadow because there isn't a larger, brighter object behind it. Lightbulbs will have shadows if they are next to other lit bulbs.
I do agree that the shadow ought to ba addressed. Even if it is to just soften it a bit.
