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 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 Science Fiction Association. "FTL" was itself a successor of the Irish magazine "Gateway". "Albedo One" is often credited as holding the position of the "longest running Irish magazine of speculative fiction" and has been billed as "Ireland's answer to "Interzone"." From issue 1, 1993, to issue 12, 1996, "Albedo One" was published
