Can I See the Flag On the Moon Through My Telescope
Вставка

- While the flag planted on the lunar surface by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin may actually be buried in moondust now, the question always comes up as to whether my telescope, the Celestron NexStar 8SE, is powerful enough to actually see artifacts leftover by the Apollo moon landing missions.

Optical engineer here: if you wanted to image the flag with an object space resolution of 1", you'd only need a telescope ~9km in diameter. To resolve it with Nyquist sampling (two lambda/D) you'd only need a 900meter telescope.
An optical telescope the size of the earth would allow you to image something as small as 10 microns on the moon!
Of course, all of this ignores atmospheric distortion, but you could make an AO system to fix that problem
A 13.8 cm telescope can achieve 1" resolution. The apperant size of the flag is around 1 mas (mili " or mili arcsecond), which requires 138 m, but more likely around a few times that, so 500 m.
Still far away that the biggest telescope is 40 m (still under construction).

But as far as I'm aware... Most if not all the colour would be bleached out by now.. due to the sun's rays...
So you would see a white flag...
Also... I should add that while we are moving and that the moon is also moving.. this might make even more difficult to spot as the satellite array would need to be in the right place at the right time.... It could take years if not longer.. as the moon has it's phases...

Artemis 3 should install a very bright blinking light on the moon that you can see from Earth (doesn't need to be by naked eye, it should be visible through a good telescope though) to shut the conspiracy nonsense up once and for all.
The moon face never changes. Same face... perfectly facing us. How does that work with a so called orbiting ball? Additionally spheres reflect light unevenly... brighter at a certain location on a sphere. That's two questions someone could give their best answers to.
Gonna be honest. I don’t believe you’d need a telescope the size of the earth to see a flag on the moon
That does sound ridiculous, but then again.. idk.. the moon is extremely far away and youre trying to find something extremely small. You could do the calculations and figure out how large of an aperture would be needed. But ill leave that for someone else to work out. Lol

about 100m in diameter plus adaptive optics may get you to see the flag. The earth size telescope is a huge overstatement
No optical telescope is EVER going to be capable of rendering an object that small at this distance through the earth's atmosphere in a way that a human can recognize. It's simply not possible to constructed lenses or mirrors of the size and precision required. The largest lenses and mirrors ever constructed wouldn't even render such a thing as a DOT visible to a human, let alone an image that can be recognized as a flag.
It takes far less is the lenses and the optical equipment is made for focussing on small objects.
I think people forget the size of the moon and planets when they are looking at features on the surfaces. Like the "cities" on mars, you would never be able to see something as small as a building on a planet as far as mars. Its stupid

No, you cannot see the flag on the moon. Your telescope (and all terrestrial telescopes, even the largest) have diffraction limits well below the angular separation needed to see a flag on the moon - and even if your telescope was big enough, you would probably be limited by seeing (atmospheric) conditions.
Finally a comment written by someone with a brain
Funny that with the largest telescopes we can see so far that basically we can go back in time until the Universum started, but we can't see a freaking flag from the sixties.
You will never see that flag on the moon because it's not there...

It's actually a thing. It is called optical telescope interferometry. You are limited to selecting specific frequencies as you have to literally tune the distance between the telescopes so the individual waves of light line up to boost each other. It's much easier to do in radio or digitally now.

It's basically the equivalent of seeing a grain of rice on the beach from the top of a tall skyscraper 25-miles away with a pair of binoculars. Even if you know where to look, you won't find it.
@RC_car:v2 It would be bleached by the Sun’s rays anyways
@RC_car:v2 its bs
@RC_car:v2 Did you mean millions of miles/kms? Neptune is only 3.8 billion miles from Earth (339 light-minutes or just under 6hrs).
Additional considerations:
1) the flag on the Moon is tiny and even if we did have a big enough telescope on Earth, the image would be lost due to atmospheric distortions.
2) many of the visual images of Neptune we still use is from the Voyager which did a flyby so we got very close
3) Neptune is appx 84 million times larger for every mile of distance from Earth than the flag on the moon. That obviously doesn't make it 84 million times easier to see, but a certain resolution photo of Neptune will be significantly easier to get than the flag, even ignoring points 1 and 2.
Where #3 figures came from...
Neptune has a radius of 15,387mi which gives it a 1-sided surface area of 1.9 trillion meters (not accurate due to the spherical shape, but close enough). This means Neptune has a visual area of appx 506m for every mile of distance from Earth.
Meanwhile, the flag has a 1-sided surface area of 1.4m and is 225,623mi at its closest. Thus, the flag has a visual area of appx 0.000006m for every 1mi of distance from Earth.
@RC_car:v2 my bad, misunderstood your original comment, thought it was more like "if we can take pictures of Neptune [then] we should be able to..."
@RC_car:v2 that's interesting... would it be dust covered? I know it'll be washed out from solar radiation, but since the Moon has no atmosphere, the only "wind" is from the Sun.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me knows if 52yrs is sufficient or if it'd take millenia. Anyways, cheers and well wishes ✌🏼
Just like we can see a postage stamp in California with binoculars while standing in Massachusetts.

Dude...why you put this knowledge on us!!
The implications of this.......
I can't carry around the burden of knowing this!!
Funny how they want to deny its existence and our technology, while holding an 8 core super computer, with touch screen, 4k video, video calling, wireless internet, and more gaming capability than a pc in the early 2000s....
Looks like we need to get Chuck a planet sized telescope
The flags at the dudes house who made the movie “the shining” I thought
That felt like a reality check of how big the moon and planets really are
And also this flag 🧐
The ever so simple "Sorry bout that" at the end.. great
"No one could see it!"
The time we toulk a picture of sagittarius A* which was so far away it would have been like taking a picture of a donut on the moon: 👺
Fun Fact: The flag actually fell down after the two men left, due to the jet blast of the escape pod.
The Apollo 11 flag did, yes. The others are still standing, as far as we know.
That’s like asking, “Can you see astronauts walking on the moon?” 🤷🏻♂️
🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Satellites can see humans walking on the earth.
@@pluto8404 A reconnaissance satellite is about 2400 times closer to the earth than the moon is.
@@pluto8404 satellites orbit the Earth close as hell the moon is so far back it almost gets pulled out of our orbit every so million years
THE FLAG IS LONG GONE BECAUSE THEY BURNED IT WHEN LEAVING STUPID DIPS
The moon is actually much bigger than what the average person imagines.
People dont realise that there are mountains and ravines as big as those on planet earth on the moon. Like Kilimanjaro and Everest.
when i was a kid i thought the moon was so small you would be able to walk around the whole planet casually in an hour or so
It’s 27% of earth.
@@maxfl0yd Did you just.. call the moon a planet.
@@maxfl0yd like the size of a basketball i think
And yet the moon footage shows none of that.
That’s because there is simply no flag!
