Greetings all. I noticed a rather strange (and briefly alarming) occurrence during my game Monday night, and wanted to ask for input on what might be going on. Also, please note I am still playing v 1.02 by choice (and always immediately turning off Temperature Gauges to work around the memory leak), simply because I can't abide the universe's physics changing mid-game. I realize I am intentionally using Nuclear Engines with a pre-radiator game. I had launched my 100+ tons Duna lander (w/ 8 Nuc engines) into low Duna orbit, and then let it be while I waited for the transfer window to Kerbin. After ~ 100 days I returned to the ship, finding it on the dark side of Duna. It was obviously on the dark side, because in the dark the WHOLE SHIP was glowing cherry red. Every thermometer on the vessel was reading +900 degrees. I watched the temperature climb, expecting that after an orbit or two it would hit 1000 and just explode. However, as soon as the ship orbited into Sunlight, the temperature immediately started falling. I was later able to burn out of orbit, and am on my way back home. My question is, is there some aspect of the ship's exposure to sunlight that could rationally explain what I witnessed, or is this just an earlier version bug? My initial search for a known bug did not yield an obvious hit. (I do have pictures, hopefully I will have time to post later this week in the "What did you do Today" thread)
