Set body = "Moon" to calculate temperatures on the Moon:

 out = krc(lat=0,INERTIA=45.,body="Moon",ALBEDO=.12,LKofT="F",ls=0.)

Note: KRC for the Moon has not been formally validated.

By default, the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity uses a Moon-like trend (k_style = "Moon"). 

For bodies where the duration of a day is significantly longer than the duration of an Earth day like the Moon, the local true solar time can be displayed both as a fraction of 24 (out.time, see above example)...

...or as a delta Julian Date since the local midnight (out.deltaJD):

  plot(out.tsurf[,1,1],xaxis=out.deltaJD[,1,1])

== Defining a Date ==

Seasons can be defined as Ls (ls), Julian Date (JD), and Gregorian Date (GD):

  OUT = krc(body="Moon",lat=25.,ls=90.)

For a specific Gregorian Date, GD (currently ranging from 1990-Jan-01 to 2040-Jan-01), the format is ????-Mmm-DD,
with Mmm:Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec;

  OUT = krc(body="Moon",lat=12.,GD="2010-Jan-05")

or a specific Julian Date JD:

  OUT = krc(body="Moon",lat=12.,JD=2455201)

Note: the possibility to specify the date with GD is only currently available for Mars, the Moon, Bennu, and Europa.
