The albedo and photometric function of the moon have been measured between 121.6 and 168.0 nm by comparing the brightness of the moon, observed with an orbiting far-ultraviolet spectrometer during the Apollo 17 mission, to the solar brightness observed simultaneously from a sounding rocket. The instruments were carefully cross-calibrated. In contrast to what is found in the visible and the near ultraviolet, the brightness of the moon is found to increase toward shorter wavelengths; the moon is 'blue' in the far ultraviolet. This is confirmed by a laboratory study of lunar samples. A brief review of lunar albedo measurements in the 120-600-nm range is given.
