WE would like to suggest that a number of previously uncorrelated visual and infra-red lunar observations may be explained by assuming that the surface of the Moon has indentations the scale of which is too small to be resolved optically by terrestrial observations. For simplicity of argument, we consider the shape of the indentations to be as shown in Fig. 1. In addition, for the arguments given here to be rigorously true, the linear dimensions of the indentations must be appreciably greater than the parametric distance for thermal conduction during a lunar cycle (~ 3 cm).
