So says my FLIR.
Really. i didnt expect it to be able to instantly read the temperature of an object 300,000 miles away, but here you have it in black and white.

What could it be reading if not the moon? Say the range of the FLIR is 200 miles or whatever, less than 300,000 miles. It has to be something in that area of space in my line of sight to the Moon as the temperature goes from -12 all around the object and jumps to above 35 when the crosshairs overlap it.
