However, despite the small discrepancy, every single time the moonlit weight WAS the slightly colder one. To me, that&#39;s significant.&#xA;&#xA;2) Something about how during nighttime, the heat that hit the earth from the sun is escaping back into space, and the shade source blocking that heat&#39;s escape is holding in the heat more&#xA;&#xA;Thoughts: To me this sounds like grasping at straws for an explanation, but even if it were true, this is why I used shade sources that were very large and far away (trees), and put the two weights as close together on the ground surface as I could; to ensure the the physical mass of the shade source could not block wind or trap heat in a way that would skew the results&#xA;&#xA;3) Something about how the color blue is colder on the color spectrum, so since the atmosphere makes the sun&#39;s reflected light change colors, that&#39;s what causes the temperature drop&#xA;&#xA;Thoughts: Again, I just don&#39;t buy this; seems like starting from the desired conclusion and making any shit up to get there. If the moon&#39;s light was reflecting sunlight (which we know is warm), then that light bouncing off of it would either create zero, or a microscopic temperature increase once it hit Earth - in no way does it make sense that it would go negative.&#xA;&#xA;...&#xA;&#xA;If anyone else has &#34;scientific explanations&#34; for the results, feel free to keep sending &#39;em. I still haven&#39;t seen anything that convinces me that mf isn&#39;t producing its own light&#xA;nostr:naddr1qqs8g6r994kk7mmw945hxttwda6z6amgv96z6am994shyefdw3hkceqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsqqx9hacelkffcgd3ecchzjtlvwq9xn2fmprhrwnzmm2t3exee2eqrqsqqqa28zfepeg</html></oembed>
