the surface of the moon is illeminite wich is basicly glass made from titanium and iron and requires a lot of heat to form where in space would there be a heat source large enough to turn the crust of a moon into illeminite hubble photos show us that a super nova lights up the objects sorounding it as the ejecta flows outward with out nesesarily obliterating the object entirly if the moon were glazzed this way that may explane the presents and depth of this glassy coating and its uncanny glow it also should not be dificult to duplicte this glazzing on a smaller scale after wich we could then test its luminosity to compare to other moons in our system.
