The fitting of Hapke's (1986) photometric parameters to the lunar disk-integrated visual lightcurve, as well as to disk-resolved data of Shorthill et al. (1969) for dark, average, and bright lunar terrains, leads to computational results from the disk-integrated results for the nearside geometric albedo and phase integral that are consistent with those of earlier investigations. The angular width of the opposition surge, which is noted to be greatest in dark terrains, can be accounted for in terms of modest differences in regolith particle-size distributions that could be associated with regolith maturation.
