The opposition effect is a nonlinear surge of brightness towards the backward scattering geometry.
Note that the opposition effect is a distinctive feature for asteroids of various types (e.g., Belskaya and Shevchenko, 2000).
This is partly due to the brightness enhancement of the opposition effect; at quarter phase, the Moon is only one-tenth as bright, rather than half as bright, as at full moon.
