2009年7月，月亮公社（一個致力於月球開發的組織）將月球上的一座環形山改名為“邁克爾約瑟夫傑克遜”，以此紀念這位傑出的藝術家。這片直徑約為22平方公里的區域位於月球的夢湖之中，緊鄰MJ於2005年買下的一片1200英畝的月球土地。在地球上用家庭望遠鏡就可能看到這個MJ環形山。
Moon crater named after Michael Jackson
A moon crater has been named after Michael Jackson.
09 Jul 2009
The 13.5 metre-wide site, formerly Posidonius J, is in the Lake of Dreams , next to a 1,200 acre plot owned by Jackson , which he bought at the cost of $27.40 (£17) per acre.
The crater was renamed Michael Joseph Jackson by The Lunar Republic Society, which promotes the exploration, settlement and development of the Moon.
Jackson, who was reported to have been one of the largest lunar landowners, bought his plot in 2005 and owned a smaller parcel in the Sea of Vapours .
According to the society the Jackson crater may be viewed from Earth using a typical home telescope under standard observational conditions.

Jackson's work was heavily influenced by the moon, from his trademark "moonwalk" dance, his autobiography called Moonwalk and an unreleased song called Scared Of The Moon.
A spokesman for the society said: "The official designation of a Lunar crater is a singular honour bestowed upon only a select few luminaries.

"Among those receiving this rare tribute over the past century are Leonardo da Vinci, Christopher Columbus, Sir Isaac Newton, Julius Caesar and Jules Verne."
