Albedo objects in the outer Solar System and asteroid belt have low albedos down to about 0.05. A typical comet nucleus has an albedo of 0.04. Such a dark surface is thought to be indicative of a primitive and heavily space weathered surface containing some organic compounds. The overall albedo of the Moon is measured to be around 0.136, but it is strongly directional and non-Lambertian, displaying also a strong opposition effect. Although such reflectance properties are different from those of any terrestrial terrains, they are typical of the regolith surfaces of airless Solar System bodies. Two common albedos that are
Albedo One writing of genre author Gene Wolfe. These columns are often noted for their "opinionated" or controversial stance on genre matters, with that in issue 31 of "Albedo One" being described as "a deliberately provocative rant" by one reviewer.

Between 1997 and 1999 "Albedo One" was honored three times by the European Science Fiction Society, winning Awards for "Best Magazine" and "Best Publisher". Stories from the magazine
