COMPARISON OF COLOR AND COEFFICIENTS OF BRIGHTNESS OF DIFFERENT REGIONS ON THE LUNAR SURFACE WITH SOME TERRESTRIAL ROCKS
A comparison of the color and the coefficients of brightness of typical lunar formations with those of some terrestrial substances was made by photographic observations with five light filters: infrared, red, green, blue and ultraviolet. This comparison shows that the reflecting power of the lunar s...
