Abstract
As reported in a communication entitled “The Relation of 11-Metre Solar System Phenomena to Solar Disturbances” (see Nature, 179, 371; 1957), it appears very probable that the Moon echoes I reported previously (Nature, 178, 159; 1956) did not take place from the surface of the Moon itself, as concluded by Kerr and Shain, but rather from a large cloud of charged particles associated temporarily with the Moon. Their conclusion indeed lends support to the particle cloud hypothesis.
