Moon, Ultraviolet: Solar System

Scientific paper

During the 1995 March flight of the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope, as part of the Astro-2 Space Shuttle mission, we observed the Moon over the wavelength range 820--1840 A, with a resolution of 3--4 A, finding the ultraviolet albedo of the Moon to be 0.038 +/- 0.0038 at 1700 A. We also find a gentle increase in the albedo toward shorter wavelengths. Ultraviolet albedo measurements may represent a useful tool for selenographic exploration.
