So the diameter is about 11 1/2 miles, not the 10 miles I calculated earlier.

That is excellent work, Pastor! You can even see the sunspots! This is the proof we have all been waiting for. And that means the moon is probably green as well. Why else would all photoluminescent night lights be green?
