Caption: Figure 4.
Single-scattering albedo of Basalt powder at varying degrees of space weathering via the formation of nanophase metallic iron particles. No added space weathering is represented by 0% iron. The spectra of the stellar irradiation and planetary flux, with 0.5% iron, are represented by solid light gray and dashed gray lines, respectively; however, these are not to scale for clarity.
