whereas the moon has a diameter of about [2,174 miles] 3,500 km — roughly 300 times larger. However, there is a concept called the Roche limit, which represents the minimum distance at which a ...

Enceladus, a moon about 300 miles in diameter, harbors a global, subsurface ocean more than 30 miles deep. Continuously erupting plumes at its south pole spray bits of icy particles from that ...

It's made at a resolution of 4,000 DPI, which is incredibly precise. It's then molded with a poly resin material that is hand-painted to mimic what the moon looks like. It comes shockingly close.

Glass beads on the moon's surface may contain nearly 300 billion tons of water, which could provide a way for astronauts on future lunar missions to get water in space, a team of 28 scientists says.
