The brightness of Mercury's broad northern belt is particularly enhanced in an area of clustered rayed craters near the classical
albedo feature Solitudo Aphrodites (280[degrees]W, 30[degrees]N), and in an area, once known as "Apollonia," centered on the bright-rayed crater Hokusai (18[degrees]W, 58[degrees]N).
To measure the
albedo of WASP-12b the scientists observed the exoplanet in October 2016 during an eclipse, when the planet was near full phase and passed behind its host star for a time.
The low
albedo shows we still have a lot to learn about WASP-12b and other similar exoplanets," Bell said.

Most of the world's state-of-the-art climate models have explored
albedo modification, and each of them has found that the process does have the potential to mitigate climate change.
As the surface warms up, part of the ice- or snow-covered area melts, reducing the surface
albedo [alpha] and increasing the solar flux absorbed by the surface.
The plants that are on the roof increase the
albedo and decrease the urban heat island effect.
En ese sentido, e incluyendo la modificacion del
albedo, la intervencion del cambio climatico viene a remover una cierta pasividad que ha permeado las respuestas ante el cambio climatico, limitando las acciones a reducir las emisiones netas de gases y a a justarnos a los efectos a como se nos vienen encima.
There are different algorithms for the calculation of surface
albedo that use radiometric measurements of AVHRR bands 1 and 2, some of which relate the spectral planetary reflectances of these bands to the surface
albedo (Wydick et al.
A importancia do
albedo de superficie esta tambem na possivel deteccao de alteracoes na superficie terrestre, resultantes de processos naturais e/ou antropogenicos (SILVA et al.
We have shown that
albedo is strongly affected by and dependent on the development and dominance of microbial communities.
