Lunar eclipse observations reveal anomalous thermal performance of Apollo reflectors
Laser ranging measurements during the total lunar eclipse on 2010 December 21 verify previously suspected thermal lensing in the retroreflectors left on the lunar surface by the Apollo astronauts. Signal levels during the eclipse far exceeded those historically seen at full moon, and varied over an order of magnitude as the eclipse progressed. These variations can be understood via a straightfo...
متن کاملVariations in the sky brightness during a lunar eclipse
A total lunar eclipse is conjectured to have influence on the physical conditions of an environmental area, particularly on the brightness of the sky. The phenomenon might also be relevant on weather parameters change on Earth, such as temperature, humidity and pressure, though a straightforward correlation is not easy to establish. This work mainly aims at measuring the brightness of the sky a...

متن کاملLunar Observer Iaser Altimeter Observations for Lunar Base .- Site Selection
One of the oqtical datasets for optimal selection of future lunar lana_ng sites is local, to regional-scale topography. Lunar base site selection will require such data for hoth engineering and scientific olX,rations purposes. The Lunar Geosctence Orbiter or Lunar Obsert_or is the ideal precursory science mission from which to obtain this required information. We suggest that a simple laser alt...
متن کاملExoplanetary Transit Constraints Based upon Secondary Eclipse Observations
Transiting extrasolar planets provide an opportunity to study the mass-radius relation of planets as well as their internal structure. The existence of a secondary eclipse enables further study of the thermal properties of the the planet by observing at infrared wavelengths. The probability of an observable secondary eclipse depends upon the orbital parameters of the planet, particularly eccent...
