The results of present observations of the thermal radio emission of the moon are consistent with the very low thermal conductivity of the surface layer which was derived from the variation in the infrared emission during eclipses ( e.g., Garstung, 1958 ).

Steady radiation which was presumably of thermal origin was observed from Venus at 3.15 and 9.4 cm, and from Mars and Jupiter at 3.15 cm in 1956 ( Mayer, McCullough, and Sloanaker, 1958, A, B, C ), and from Saturn at 3.75 cm in 1957 ( Drake and Ewen, 1958 ).

The antenna patterns and the power gain at the peak of the beam were both measured ( Mayer, McCullough, and Sloanaker, 1958 ), so that the absolute power sensitivity of the antenna beam over the solid angle of the moon was known.
