G. The and photometric function moon have been measured between 121.6 168.0 nm by comparing brightness moon, observed with an orbiting far-ultraviolet spectrometer during Apollo 17 mission, to solar simultaneously from a sounding rocket. instruments were carefully cross-calibrated. In contrast what is found in visible near ultraviolet, increase toward shorter wavelengths; 'blue' far ultraviolet. This confirmed laboratory study lunar samples. A brief review measurements 120-600-nm range given.
