Caption: Figure 2.

Color-coded MeerKAT images of the Moon at 1002 MHz. The Stokes I brightness (left panel) is nearly featureless while the fractional polarized brightness (center panel) is strongly peaked toward the limb, with fractional polarization reaching 30% near the lunar limb. The EVPA vectors (right panel) are nearly radial. The slight ripple seen in the Stokes I image is from a deconvolution instability.
