Could you see the astronauts on the Moon with a telescope?

The landers, rovers, and other junk left on the lunar surface by the astronauts are totally invisible. Using a bigger telescope won’t help much. You’d need a mirror 50 times bigger than Hubble’s to see the landers at all, and we don’t have a 100 meter telescope handy.

Can you see the flag on the Moon with a telescope?

Yes, the flag is still on the moon, but you can’t see it using a telescope. The Hubble Space Telescope is only 2.4 meters in diameter – much too small! Resolving the larger lunar rover (which has a length of 3.1 meters) would still require a telescope 75 meters in diameter.

What happens if you look at the Moon with a telescope?

Yes, it is. The light reflected from the moon’s surface has an intensity level very very small compared to that of the sun. So, there is no chance of damaging your eyes by looking at a full moon. However, the brightness of the full moon through a reasonably powered telescope can certainly make your eyes feel dazzled.

Can you see a man on the Moon from Earth?

Summary: Many of us see a man in the moon — a human face smiling down at us from the lunar surface. The “face,” of course, is just an illusion, shaped by the dark splotches of lunar maria (smooth plains formed from the lava of ancient volcanic eruptions).

Can we see flag on moon from Earth?

Flags were left by all six Moon missions. In any event, the answer is no. No telescope has the angular resolution to see anything that tiny on the Moon from the Earth. The Apollo landing sites have, however, been photographed from lunar orbit by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).

Is it OK to look at Moon?

Looking at the moon won’t damage your eyes the same way looking at the sun will. The moon simply isn’t bright enough to cause harm. That said, if your eyes do begin to sting or water uncomfortably, it’s probably best to take a break or blink more regularly as you gaze.

Is there a man on the moon?

Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin were the first of 12 human beings who walked on the Moon. Four of America’s moonwalkers are still alive: Aldrin (Apollo 11), David Scott (Apollo 15), Charles Duke (Apollo 16), and Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17).

Did the astronauts leave evidence on the Moon with a telescope?

Several alert readers pointed out that, even though you cannot see direct evidence of the moon excursions with a telescope, there is one artifact that the astronauts left behind on the moon that does provide evidence of their missions.

Can you see the Moon excursions with a telescope?

Several alert readers pointed out that, even though you cannot see direct evidence of the moon excursions with a telescope, there is one artifact that the astronauts left behind on the moon that does provide evidence of their missions. That artifact is a laser beam reflector that has been used to track the distance of the moon from the Earth.

Can we see the flag on the Moon?

What about the lunar rover? Can we use the Hubble Space Telescope to see anything left behind by the astronauts? 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.
