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.

You can't see the flag when you point it to a place on earth if it was undeniably proven to be on the moon. Idiot.

I've seen the flag, it was in a Hollywood basement.
The reason why you can’t see the flag is because it was left in the studio. 😂

I think Russia would have had something to say at the time if they didn't
Def would help
You are part right - they aren’t there because they are stand issue government flags that first would have faded but after years of ultraviolet radiation hitting them they all have degraded to nothing. All that remains are the poles.

It’s actually because of the render distance
Only true gamers understand

Conspiracy garbage.
The lunar reconnaissance orbiter has taken images of the landing site, including the lunar rover and the tracks it left behind.
Not mention you would need an even crazier setup for following a tiny point on the surface of an object 280000km away that is also moving on an elliptic orbit with reference to Earth. And the stabilization required for the whole setup. Even a mosquito landing on it would create havoc ...

@@IAmAHeater Are you a Moon Landing denier ?
@MrSummitville Moon landing being faked is a fact. Not denying anything.
A speck on the moon is the size of Texas
The highest resolution of the moon, from the earth, is roughly 25' x 25' per pixel. Still not enough resolution.
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).
How would cameras work on the Moon, How would the film survive,

@@alexcwagner Don't say it then...
@@PLEVIthe film doesn't need to breathe, so yes, it would survive :) Jokes aside, films were extensively used during the Apollo missions and there are thousands of pictures available, so the answer is yes.

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...

Would it surprise you to learn that low-earth orbit spy satellites are much closer to the earth than the earth is to the moon?
From a satellite sure, but those arent nearly as far away as the moon is
No they can’t.
No they can not. If you have seen the Fast and Furious movie where they have a device called God's Eye where they can use anything with a camera, there you go. Keep that in mind the next time you're using your phone and looking at.......well you get the idea. If they are looking for a specific plate, all they need is an area and a justifiable reason (ie terrorism, presidential death threat and etc)

I don't think you'd need a telescope as big as the earth to see it. A quick calculation with the Rayleigh criterion gives an answer of about 258 meters for the aperture. The biggest telescopes in the world have apertures of about 10 meters, so still 25 times larger than anything that exists.
So you'd need a mirror as big as a skyscraper and the Dome would be about as tall as an aircraft carrier.
Moon landing deniers are like YEA RIGHT! 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.

Not quite the size of the planet, but bigger than most people would be able to afford. If you could afford that, you may as well pay SpaceX to send a moon satellite to take some pictures.

not only that, but if memory serves, the artefacts of the Apollo 11 mission is on the "Dark side" of the moon, meaning even if you had a strong enough telescope, you still wouldn't be able to see it anyways because its on the side of the moon facing away from the earth.
No, none of the Apollo missions landed on the far side of the Moon.
@@PARTUM_QUANTICLE the moon is tidally locked to the earth, not the sun. One side always faces towards the earth, one away. The one that faces away is known as the "Dark side of the moon."
@@JohnHazenhousen really? Maybe i was lowkey gaslighted into thinking it.
This seems relevant to sighting other Earth like planets in other solar systems
We just have to increase the render distance, but be careful as it may fry your telescope.....Do it at your own risk
Time to overclock it!

What do you mean by render distance?
@@Vignana_Pradarshana its a minecraft joke...its like you can increase the visibility
1969 - we have the technology to transport people 238,855 miles to the moon and back
2023 - we don’t have the technology to see the moon that well
We went to the moon 6 times between 1969 and 1972. It cost more money than our government would ever agree to spend again.
We could never SEE the moon that well at any point, but high-powered -telescopes- lasers can pick up the reflectors that were left there in the early 70's.

You don’t understand optical science. That’s the only real issue. It’s tough.
@@-Ricky_Spanish-yet here we are send billions to fund wars in Ukraine
Don't apologize, start building the telescope!
