Back Light Scattering is a Single Event

Authors: Uri Lachish

Scattered light polarization, which is generally conserved on dark surfaces, provides evidence for single-event scattering. The conservation observed in dark terrestrial stones extrapolates to single-event scattering of moonlight. Single-event scattering offers a natural explanation for both the uniform appearance of the full Moon and the opposition effect, which are two manifestations of the same underlying phenomenon. Comparable near-uniformity is observed in full images of all the planets and their moons, as well as in terrestrial images of similar geometry. There are no real images that are consistent with Lambert’s cosine law of scattering.
