| Oct 11 | The highest point on the Moon is the Selenean summit, at 35,387 feet (10,785 m) tall, 20% higher than Earth's highest point, Mt Everest | |
| Oct 10 | At about 18,000 feet (5486 meters), Mons Huygens is the tallest mountain on the Moon but not its highest summit | |
| Oct 8 | Even though the Moon looks like a perfect sphere, it’s actually closer to the shape of an egg, with the broader end facing Earth | |
