Albedo formula_5 (also called blue-sky albedo) can then be given as: Directional-hemispherical reflectance is sometimes referred to as black-sky albedo and bi-hemispherical reflectance as white-sky albedo. These terms are important because they allow the albedo to be calculated for any given illumination conditions from a knowledge of the intrinsic properties of the surface. The albedos of planets, satellites and minor planets such as asteroids can be used to infer much about their properties. The study of albedos, their dependence on wavelength, lighting angle ("phase angle"), and variation in time comprises a major part of the astronomical field of photometry. For small
Albedo One 'trans'. Notable authors include Aliette de Boddard, Jay Caselberg and Lawrence M. Schoen. Issues appear two or three times a year both as a PDF download and as an A4 size print magazine. Sample content from certain issues is also available to view on the "Albedo One" website and is periodically updated. Albedo One Albedo One is an Irish horror, fantasy and science fiction magazine founded in 1993 and currently published by Albedo One Productions. "Albedo One" is widely regarded as the successor to the defunct Irish science fiction magazine "FTL", which was originally published by the (also now-defunct) Irish
