Scientific paper

The opposition effect in brightness and color and also the negative polarization of the light have been measured for two pairs of lunar soil samples delivered by the Luna 16 Luna 24 automatic interplanetary stations. The samples of each pair are similar in composition but differ in degree of maturity. The measurement data show that the opposition effect in brightness is more pronounced (especially in red light) for mature soil in comparison with less-mature soil. The negative polarization parameters for mature soil are also somewhat different from those for less-mature soil. The measurement results are compared with theoretical models of certain optical properties of powdery surfaces.
