Is this true? Isn't there any asteroid, comet or whatever, colder than the Moon?

Why is the moon so fucking beautiful? What's the evolutionary basis for this?
>>9142271
It looks a bit like a skull, and all humans are in love with death.

>What's the evolutionary basis for this?
Moons choose their sexual partners based on attractiveness, and are incapable of rape, so only the most attractive moons were able to reproduce.
Define "cold" in the context of "the solar system."
>>9142307
"Cold" is a relative measure of temperature. "The Solar System" is the Solar System. "Cold" in the context of the Solar System means "relatively lower temperature, as compared with other parts of the Solar System".
Hope that helps!
>>9142313
How do you compare Mercury to Venus in terms of temperature?
>>9142318
By using the mean, or you could even compare the ranges of temperature tho of course then you'd be comparing matrices not single variables.
>>9142266
No. No near close.
It's warmer than UrAnus.
Objects beyond Neptune as Pluto (planet?) Are way more far away from sun or other Stars so are much colder than UrAnus.
The sun rays barely reach UrAnus.
>>9142299
Even if moons were able to rape, they'd get more attractive with time. Moon rapists would choose the most attractive moons to rape.
>>9142329
Moon rape is about power, it has nothing to do with attractiveness, just opportunity.
Uh I'm pretty sure the inside of a tank of liquid nitrogen is colder, and we have lots of those on earth.
In fact the coldest place in the known universe is on Earth. Suck my dick moon

Rude.

What's the evolutionary basis for what?

Dumb article. There is nothing special about Lula that would prevent that kind of cold sun-free valley from existing on Pluto or the plutoids. Comparing that to Pluto's day side is just stupid trolling on the part of the magazine.
>>9142334
he's right, that was pretty rude.
>>9142321
Ranges don't form a totally ordered set, and "mean" is ill-defined.
>>9142266
There might be, but not that we know of
>>9142266
What if you had a moon made of ice and crashed it into a moon made of fire?
>>9142327
Uranus is actually warmer than people think, the inside is quite hot.
>>9142341
It's a meme you dip
>>9144075
Go ahead and take your forced meme back to /pol/
>>9142341
>>9144075
Even if it's not a meme, it could still be a valid question. Maybe if he phrased it like, "What's the evolutionary advantage for humans to find the Moon beautiful?"
Actually not a bad question. Did all the people who thought the Moon was ugly die out for some reason? Or do they still love among us?
>>9142266
The coldest place in the solar system is in laboratories on Earth. We can get things down to a billionth of a degree away from absolute zero, invent new fucking states of matter.

Why the fuck would you assume there is one?
>>9144319
>Why does everyone have to be a contrarian here all the time? You know what they mean.
Badly worded questions call for unrigorous answers. That's why we ask you details. "The mean value of 1 and 2" may have infinitely many values including [math]\frac32[/math], [math]\sqrt2[/math], [math]\frac23[/math], [math]\sqrt5[/math], 1, 2 and [math]\sqrt[3]9[/math].
>>9144364
* [math]\sqrt{\frac52}[/math] and [math]\sqrt[3]{\frac92}[/math]
>>9144364
What does mean have to do with planetary equilibrium temperature? Planetary equilibrium temperature has a very specific definition and it's always the thing that's used whenever you read about a planet's temperature in our solar system.
>>9144391
>it's always the thing that's used whenever you read about a planet's temperature in our solar system
No, it's not.

>Temperatures: - 279 degrees Fahrenheit on the side away from the sun; 801 degrees Fahrenheit on the side facing the sun.
>>9144324
I dunno. Why do we do any of the things we do? A whole bunch of things can be chalked up to evolution, even if it doesn't seem like it at first.
