| Jan 26, 2017 at 22:27 | comment | added | Johnny Robinson | There is an odd discrepancy there with Apollo giving hotter measurements. The Indian Chandrayaan-1 probe spotted an apparent lava tube and somehow estimated a temperature of -5˚f So this fits with the -17C statement above. But it is much more complex than that. The moon is not active but the center it is still hot. There is surely an increasing gradient that starts somewhere. (Rock pressure is probably prohibitably high at that point anyway.) | |
