AB: We present a correlative analysis between the variability of the lunar albedo in the far ultraviolet wavelength range (130-190 nm) and various solar activity indices for a two-week period. The albedo is measured using the Ultraviolet Imager on board the Polar spacecraft. We also report lunar albedo measurements in four separate wavelength ranges, corresponding to four filters on the Polar Ultraviolet Imager. To our knowledge this is the first reported long term measurements of the lunar albedo in this wavelength range.
