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
So Beautiful or So What Simon. At the end of 2011, "So Beautiful or So What" appeared on several top-ten lists curated by music publications. "Rolling Stone" named it the year's 3rd best record, while "Mojo" ranked it 15th. It was voted the 14th best album of the year in "The Village Voice"s Pazz & Jop, an annual poll of American critics nationwide. Christgau, the poll's creator, ranked it 3rd on his year-end list for "The Barnes & Noble Review". Years later, he said "So Beautiful or So What" and Simon's 2016 album "Stranger to Stranger" had remained the singer's "21st century prizes". All songs
