Geometric albedo For Earth-bound observers this occurs when the body in question is at opposition and on the ecliptic. The visual geometric albedo refers to the geometric albedo quantity when accounting for only electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum. The surface materials (regoliths) of airless bodies (in fact, the majority of bodies in the Solar System) are strongly non-Lambertian and exhibit the opposition effect, which is a strong tendency to reflect light straight back to its source, rather than scattering light diffusely. The geometric albedo of these bodies can be difficult to determine because of this, as their reflectance is strongly peaked
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
