Common sense (to me) the suns waves/corona would be hotter i guess the question is why so much hotter i would say that the sun is so much more stable. More unstable suns would have lower temperature coronas im sure you can test that theory easily enough.

As to the moon, nice very nice it also means it has a magnetic field and poles and a weak atmosphere and limited capabilities at refracting the solar wind.

Is it too atrocious a pun to say my reaction to this was : “Cor(e)!” ;-)

Fascinating story thanks – I’m surprised Luna’s still molten inside tho’ would’ve thought it would’ve solidified completely ages ago.

Clearly still some intenal lunar heat – can we tap into it in future I wonder?
