You can work this out by casting rays in all directions from the pupil of
your eye and seeing where they end up. If your pupil is exactly in the
center of the sphere, then you'll see only blackness (with that eye),
because any light reaching your retina would have to have originated from
your retina. If your pupil is off-center, your field of view will be filled
with a distorted image of yourself holding the light source.

Guessing it sure, but calculating it is another matter.
