I was just throwing out "earth cliches." I know that without an
atmosphere the temperature swings are going to be pretty quick and
that 2 days into the lunar night and the 14th night aren't really
going to have much difference.

What I want is hard data. Can anyone help? I'd really like to know
exactly how quickly and to what extant the temperatures flucuate.
