ie, Discs, hemispheres, average and max temps, and 35 K (surface heat retention / release) on the dark side of course.

Derek - I don't know! But it is very interesting. I knew that bit would catch your attention with regard to previous posts of yours.

Will need to read this book through many times before I can reach any firm conclusion. It's a long learning curve as I get to grips with the number crunching. Been well over fifty years since I last tried this level of maths.
