A 40-year-old mystery about rising temperatures on the moon has been solved — and it was probably the Apollo astronauts' fault

“Newly discovered temperature data from the 1970s moon landings, released in the Journal of Geophysical Research in April, reveals that NASA astronauts probably warmed up the moon’s surface temperature by as much as 6 degrees Fahrenheit by walking around and poking into the lunar surface.”

this is an extremely important finding, because if walking around and poking a few shallow holes in the lunar surface can raise the lunar surface temperature 6 degrees, then it would very easy to send a few solar-powered robots to walk around with high-tech poker sticks and poke holes and make footprints until the temperature was raised to habitable levels ...

I was unaware there Air on the Moon ?

Maybe inside though.

“for the moon is hollow and I have seen the sky”

the elders were of course knowledgeable one cannot go to the surface, as I found out and nearly escaped death.

it is cold out there, and there is no air

No, I don’t think its calibration. I bet the sensors have been placed near parking lots.

Am I crazy to think that this sounds like absolute horse droppings?

I’m pretty sure it’s the global warming here on earth that’s causing the moon’s warming. All of that extra heat from earth has to go somewhere, and the moon is the closest object to earth, so naturally, the moonpeople have to suffer the consequences.

"But if just a few moonwalks can cause a kind of climate change on the moon, ..."

I imagine that this "kind of climate change" perhaps has an extent limited to thousands of square feet on a moon with a surface area probably measuring in the thousands of square MILES.

These global warmists are absolutely NUTS.

“They believe infinitely small amounts friction from people four years earlier caused temperature increases beyond what the Sun does all the time?”

No, they “unearthed” (unmooned) darker soil that heated up more.

Its Lunar Warming!

Send up Al Gore, Lurch John Kerry, Greta Thunberg and all their followers! The moon needs them more than we do!

This is a truly bizzare article. Why are they possible concerned with a few degrees of temperature change on the lunar surface, in a tiny little spot?

Oh. I get it. It is to claim we are all in danger of dying of global warming, or is it global cooling... Oh no. It is Climate Change.

This has to be one of the most stupid propaganda articles I have seen...

I think she’s right. The ozone layer is very thin and fragile. What would a rocket exploding through it with all of that energy and heat do to it? And they worry some spray can down here is disrupting the ozone layer after what they do to it.

Good thing the moon has no Butterflies to upset the Atmosphere.

Makes you wonder, did the astronauts leave their poop bags on the moon? Or did they operate under the ‘take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints’ doctrine?

I know from my dog that poop bags are quite warm, for a while anyway.

💩

I heard from your grandmother stepping on butterflies is worse than stepping on cracks, or at least it was for her back.

So you have several tubes sunk to various depths with thermometers in them. Lets be generous and say the tubes are 1 in in diameter.

That would be a surface area of .785 in^2 per tube. Since the two missions drilled 4 holes (of various depths) that would mean of all the moon's surface, they are measuring an area of 3.14 in sq and at various depths. Also we know the deeper holes show cooler readings that the shallow holes (duh).

We are paying "scientists" to tell us by measuring a three inch sample, that the entire moon has heated up 6 degrees F due to the intervention of humanity???????????

This "science" is worthy of greta the goblin from the north.

This sure doesn’t pass the smell test. It seems ridiculous that a few men decades ago could possibly raise the temp that much.

Unless it is artificial and has started to power up.

Who knows, it may be.
