ONE of the most important tasks in selenology is to establish the relative ages of different parts of the lunar crust. It may be argued that, during the lifetime of a crater, its floor would be darkened at a uniform rate by the destructive effects of ultra-violet light on the rock crystals. The empirical relationship : may be fitted to the albedo (ρ) measurements of Markov and Fedorets1, where Δ is the diameter of a crater in kilometres.
