The interaction of the solar wind with the moon was modeled using an electrodynamic hydrogen plasma accelerator. A glass sphere served as the lunelle. The plasma parameters within an order of magnitude of unity were taken at values close to those in space; those strongly differing from unity in space were chosen so that they were correspondingly larger or smaller than unity, but the orders of magnitude were not always preserved. It was found that there was a conical cavity to the dark side of the lunelle in which the intensity of the magnetic field was increased. The flow of plasma in the cavity occurred at the speed of the ion acoustic and was accompanied by the formation of a rarefactional wave. The front of the rarefactional wave lay on the surface of a Mach cone. The increase of the field before the rarefactional wave was observed only for conductive lunelles.
