Optics of the Moon offers a modern approach to lunar remote sensing. It presents methods for interpreting optics of surfaces on the Moon with complicated structures. For example, the book illustrates how phase-ratio techniques can lead to detection of surface structure anamolies, describes polarimetric studies of the lunar surface and their use, and addresses many other questions related to the regolith-like surfaces of the Moon, such as why the Moon looks like a ball at a large phase angle and like a disk in full moon, why the lunar surface has slight color variations, and why at large phase angles its polarization degree closely correlates with albedo. Includes case studies, maps, and color figures to illustrate concepts clearly with specific application to the moon Presents theories alongside experimental and observational data to support and describe modern techniques Communicates new approaches and methods related to the optics of surfaces on the Moon with complicated structures

Annotation. Reports from the July 1993 meeting detail advances in telescopes and astronomy technology and discuss the feasibility of astronomical observations from the South Pole and the Moon, in sections on general purpose optical telescopes, charge-coupled devices, optical spectrographs and other instruments, operations and networking, and remote outposts. Includes photos and diagrams. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

The only work to date to collect data gathered during the American and Soviet missions in an accessible and complete reference of current scientific and technical information about the Moon.

Written in the second quarter of the 11th century this work is an important treatise on light and vision. The work is divided into seven books; this translation covers the first three dealing with rectilinear vision.

Publishes papers reporting on research and development in optical science and engineering and the practical applications of known optical science, engineering, and technology.
