ON THE NONUNIFORM COOLING BEHAVIOR OF THE ECLIPSED MOON,

Abstract

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. (Author)
