Abstract
THE Brewster null has been observed in reflexions of Explorer XXXV telemetry transmissions from the lunar surface. In the south-western portion of Oceanus Procellarum the null occurs at an angle of incidence of 60° ± 1°. This implies an effective, relative dielectric constant for this area of 3.0 ± 0.2.
