Minimum bolometric temperature observed at the Chang’e 3 landing site
Minimum bolometric temperature observed at the Chang’e 3 landing site The coldest part of the lunar day is the end of the night, just before sunrise. Fresh craters appear warmer because they are more rocky and so retain heat for longer at night. The minimum observed bolometric temperature at the location of the Chang’e 3 lander is 94 K.
