Abstract: | From the ground-based colorimetry performed for two surface regions of the near side of the Moon, images of the phase ratio
of the color index C(600 nm/470 nm) have been built for the phase angles between 2° and 95°. It has been found that for phase angles smaller than
α ∼ 40°–50°, the color index of the highlands grows with the phase quicker than that of the mare regions. For larger phase
angles, α > 50°, a reverse situation is observed. The laboratory data on the spectrophotometry of the lunar samples confirm
the peculiarities found in the phase dependence of color. The influence of multiple scattering on the phase dependence of
the color of the mare and highland regions of the Moon are discussed. |
