Can you see the original moon landing site with a telescope?

Short answer: Theoretically, yes, but practically, no. It would take an incredibly powerful telescope to see signs of moon landings on the lunar surface, and even the best telescopes we have today are not remotely powerful enough to capture clear images of those signs.

Can you see flag on moon with telescope?

Yes, the flag is still on the moon, but you can’t see it using a telescope. I found some statistics on the size of lunar equipment in a Press Kit for the Apollo 16 mission. The flag is 125 cm (4 feet) long, and you would need an optical wavelength telescope around 200 meters (~650 feet) in diameter to see it.

Can you see astronauts on the moon with a telescope?

To get less than 2-meter (6-foot)resolution when the Moon is closest, we’d need a telescope able to resolve angles as small as 0.001 arcsecond. That translates into a diameter exceeding 100 meters (4,000 inches).

Can the Hubble telescope see the Apollo landing sites?

Can Hubble see the Apollo landing sites on the Moon? No, Hubble cannot take photos of the Apollo landing sites. “An object on the Moon 4 meters (4.37 yards) across, viewed from HST, would be about 0.002 arcsec in size.

Can you see the Moon landing site on Google Earth?
