Ultraviolet photometry of the moon with the celescope experiment on the OAO-2Thirteen television frames of the moon taken in the wavelength regions of 1350-2150 A by filter U sub 3 and 1050-2150 A by filter U sub 4 in the celescope experiment are discussed. The data include phase angles from -81 deg to -26 deg. The brightness dependence on phase angle differs slightly from that of visual observations. The brightness dependence on selenographical longitude is compared with the theoretical photometric function derived by Hapke.
