Scientific paper

A comparison of reflectance of the Moon and Mercury was made on the basis of photometrically corrected monochrome mosaics of comparable wavelengths (566 and 560 nm) from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera and Mercury Dual Imaging System, respectively. Immature materials on both bodies are units least affected by space weathering, and consequently immature materials of a given composition should have similar reflectance values on the two bodies. We find that immature lunar highland materials have reflectances that are a factor of ~1.6 larger than analogous materials on Mercury. The markedly darker immature material on Mercury may indicate a compositional difference from the lunar highland surface.
