Subjects: Lunar eclipses; Temperature and radiation
Description: Anomalous cooling of certain regions of the Moon during an eclipse may be attributable to preferential surface roughness on a centimeter scale. Several arguments are presented in support of this hypothesis and a quantitative illustration is displayed. Implications with regard to lunar crater evolution are discussed briefly.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 7).
