The answer to your question is in the stickied Troubleshooting thread, which you should have posted to. Since the landscapes of Sol system planets and objects are NOT procedural, the detail will be limited when you get close. Only procedural planets will have detailed surfaces.

The answer to your question is in the comparison screenshots in the Moon texture download page, and also printed there:

Note: these textures will not make Moons' level of detail look like a procedural planet. They have a limited resolution (up to 230 meters per pixel), and this will be the maximum level of detail for Moon. A procedural surface refinement is planned for future versions of SpaceEngine.
