Commenting here because this describes a fascinating phenomenon and I hope some more people see it.
In short, lunar surface temperatures decreased during the pandemic, hypothesized as being due to a reduction in anthropogenic radiation from earth caused by the lockdowns.
As far as I understood it, the amount of reflected solar radiation is what was reduced, because of less air pollution. Meaning the Earth would have actually absorbed more of it?
