The amount of variation and polarization that occurs at different times of the lunar day will indicate whether the sun's rays are being scattered by tiny dust particles or by solid surface. "Within two or three months we should know definitely," says Professor Zdenek Kopal, who will take charge of the experiment. Meantime, says Cosmologist Gold, spaceship pilots...
