Heatflow through the solid rock of the lunar surface would be negligible. Bob -- The article is about the coldest temperatures ever measured. There may be lower temperatures elsewhere, but without any current way to measure them. However, any Neptunian moon would have day and night as it rotates, and it wouldn't get as cold during a night only a few days or months long, as it does in the perpetually pitch-dark areas discussed in the article.

I have a queestion: OK,radiation is coming off other craters and landforms in vicinity, but what is the main source of the radiation. The core from the moon? A very interesting article.
