Why can't we see the Apollo lunar landers on the Moon from Earth ?

When you look up at a full moon, just remember that somewhere on the lunar face, the remains of Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 along with 8 unmanned Russian Luna missions and 5 pre-Apollo unmanned American Surveyor missions are all still there….. silently looking back….. unless of course, you’re a NASA non-believer.

so… why can’t we see these from the earth, why can’t we train our best telescopes on to the moon’s surface and see them there exactly where we left them the best part of 50 years ago.
Well, there a bit of a problem…. and that is that the moon is 384,000 kilometres or 238,000 miles away and the landers and all the other things left behind are just few meters across.
To give you an Idea how difficult a problems that it is….. it’s like looking for an object the size of a coin from 1000 miles away or the equivalent from New York to Florida…. so you going to need a pretty serious telescope.
One telescope that springs to mind is the Hubble space telescope, after all if it can see galaxy’s billons of light years away then it should be able to see the Apollo landers easily…. shouldn’t it ??
Well, as with many things to do with space it’s not that simple. Yes, the Hubble space telescope was indeed designed to look at very faint objects at astronomical distances but those objects are clusters of galaxy’s trillions of millions across, it was not designed the take high resolution images of small objects at fairly close ranges in astronomical terms like to the moon.
The problem is down to the resolution of the images that the telescope can produce and that is limited by the laws of physics. The resolution determines the size the smallest Picture Element is or pixel in the image. The higher the resolution more of the fine detail in an image can be seen.
In a telescope, the bigger the mirror, the more the magnification, so the closer the object will appear but at the very large magnifications the image is also affected by the wavelength of the light itself. The shorter the wavelength like ultraviolet light, the finer the detail that can be captured and the resolution increases but in visible light as we go from blue through green to red, the wavelength increases and the resolution is decreased.
The Hubble has a mirror which is 2.4 meters in diameter, that was the largest that could fit in to the Space Shuttle when it was placed in to orbit. This gives it a single pixel resolution in ultra violet light of about 43 meters across on the moon’s surface, anything smaller than 43 meters across will just be hidden in a single dot which cannot be resolved any further, in fact we need really 2 pixels or more to make out anything at all......

    We older earthlings watched all of the Gemini, surveyor, Apollo missions along with many others not mentioned. Do you think for one minute the governments of Russia, China, the u k, France etc. And their populations weren't sitting in front of their t.v.s watching too ? Their scientists were tracking the Apollo spacecrafts. The Russians would have loved to call the Americans liars in that they did not land on the moon. They were our chief competitors. Funny thing, they didn't. They congratulated us for a job well done. But yet we have present day Americans who are busying themselves with this nonsense that there weren't any moon landings. So in ten , fifteen years, some country will land on Mars. And they will see it. And when they get old they will read on you tube how young people, who did not witness the first Mars landing, are calling it a hoax. And the joke will be on them. Brave men risked their lives to take us to the moon and advance space exploration and these deniers sit on their comfortable couch and give no credit to them. Ship of Fools.

    Operation Northwoods... Operation Mockingbird... The Gulf of Tonkin attack... If the CIA planned on assassinating thousands of its own people: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods then the step to faking moon landings was quite small. All the landings happened under the most fraudulent administration in history (Nixon administration) in a 3 year period (69-72) and stopped when Watergate broke. Since then, not a human beyond orbit in any of the world’s space programs. To not consider the circumstances surrounding a claim is no different than blind religious idiocy. I’m not a conspiracy guy in any way but lived in the 1960s. I wouldn’t trust a word out of a 1960s US government mouth if it had been peer reviewed and tested to an infallible shine. For many of us in the 1960s, Nixon’s first moon landing 6 months after he was sworn into office at the height of Vietnam (Tet offensive) was like if Trump’s _Space_ _Force_ put men on Mars only 6 months after being sworn into office in the middle of a Russian collusion investigation while in the middle of a major war with say N. Korea. This isn’t a claim of a flat earth. This isn’t a claim of big foot. This isn’t a claim of aliens in Roswell. This is the refutation of a claim by an unscrupulous government. *Occam’s* *Razor:* _The_ _simplest_ _solution_ _tends_ _to_ _be_ _the_ _correct_ _one._ _When_ _presented_ _with_ _competing_ _hypotheses_ _to_ _solve_ _a_ _problem,_ _one_ _should_ _select_ _the_ _one_ _with_ _the_ _fewest_ _assumptions._ So with that in mind, why is it that in almost 50 years no human has been beyond orbit in any space program in the world regardless of _Moore’s_ _Law,_ globalization and extraordinary technological advancements? Because we never went to begin with. Why can’t we see the moon landers? There never were any. Why so many questions about the moon landings with absurdly complex answers? Because we never went.

    There is another problem with using Hubble to image the landing cites, and it's the same reason that the Hubble has the lens cover. When you are looking at a distant star, so little of the light emitted is actually heading into your telescope that it appears very faint. The moon has a very low albido, but even so, it reflects a huge amount of photons from the sun. This would not be an issue if you were far away, but the moon is comparatively very close, so if Hubble were to look directly at it, the CCDs would be bombarded with photons, and would burn out from over exposure. Not a good expenditure, especially since it's already had it's final servicing mission. During periods of high debris bombardment, such as meteor storms, Hubble will close it's lens cap, and turn towards the Earth, protecting the primary mirror from micro-meteoroid impact. The purpose of the lens cap, even when the telescope is pointed away from the storm, is because the Earth is so bright during the day, that to look at it would burn out the ultra sensitive CCDs which were designed to look at faint distant galaxies.

    The Hubble has actually photographed the moon before, and it was for legitimate scientific reasons. www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/solarsystem/hubble_moon.html The Hubble's orbit is high enough for its decay rate to be very small. Currently, it's natural reentry will occur sometime between 2030 and 2040. It's not easy to predict precisely because there are many factors that can influence it. Chances are some effort will be made to control its decommissioning since some parts of its structure could survive reentry and thus be a hazard to people on the ground. Hubble is too close to the Earth to get a photograph of the entire planet. It's not much higher than the ISS and I'm sure you've seen pictures and video from there. Because of how fast it is moving it wouldn't be able to take useful photos of Earth's surface either.

    Society has profited from Apollo. You, however, are keeping us in the dark ages by denying science. It's your fault we've not returned in 50 years. If it was supported better, we'd have been back decades ago. You're discrediting the memory of heroes who died to get us there, and spitting in the face of millions who dedicate their life to the science behind space technology.

Yes, "Black and white couple" has "white couple" in it's title. That is a match of more than 50% (54.545454...%)! Now search for "couple white" (with quotation marks) and you end up with completely different results.

    Well stated. Many people looking in a scope or their digital zoom camera at the Moon think they're seeing rocks and small bolders. They're actually seeing big mountains and craters the size of huge lakes. These things look small because there are no real known references. When we look at Earth from a probe camera and see, say Florida, we know how big Florida is and that the Okefenokee is a really big lake. Therefore we don't expect to see Uncle Billy's RV outside Miami. Also moon mountains can look really "rocky" because there is nothing to erode them down to smooth cones like on Earth. However, I do think NASA/JPL does us a disservice by employing former Disney Imagineers to render the Hubble space art they often show in place of visual spectrum photography. People see what looks like something from Toy Story or Titanic, and they assume all is movie fake. In the old days, a text book would have a hand drawing or painting of say The Solar System or the Milky Way taken from an outside the galaxy perspective. We all knew that was a best guess imaginative picture based on other science. However with the flood of CGI astral images, even with backyard telescopes, kids get super skeptical. Best bet kids. Buy an analog reflective telescope (no camera or video gadgetry. Just lenses, mirrors and knobs) for about $200, go out of the city and look at some planets. Things will start to make sense.

    Except that the backyard astronomer images are NOT CGI. Composites yes, multiple images stacked in a software program to get better exposure value and detail but absolutely not CGI. I am currently working on my own shot of the Andromeda galaxies only using a DSLR and 300mm f4 lens. I got exciting results with only a stack equalling about 2 minutes of exposure. If we ever get a clear night here again (6 weeks of no good conditions) I am hoping for 30 minutes or more. Everyone repeat: Composite is NOT CGI. Your own eyes create composite images from very tiny sensors!!!!!!!!!!

    @@Bogolyubovos You can occasionally see them pass in front of the moon. NOT with just your eyes, you would need a telescope. It would not be just some casual thing, like tossing the scope toward the moon and seeing satellites buzzing by. Also literally if you blink you would miss it. The satellites orbits were not planned so you could sit and watch them passing in front of the moon. Satellites are relatively small and a long ways away...how much detail can you see in a car 2 miles away or a 747 from 6-7 miles? Satellites are way farther. You can see satellites by eye under dark skies. You can get info as to where to look and at what time. Same with the ISS.

    *Tycho Crater* - A troll keeps asking why we can see it. It's about 85 km (53 mi) across. That's over 2000 square miles. If you do the maths, it's at the very limit of what we can see. But, it is a very bright spot surrounded by darker land - and it has "rays" that extend for hundreds of miles. So, you can just about see it with your naked eye. The troll (currently called "ThomasG10mtn") claims we shouldn't be able to see it, but I have no idea what their point is. I've tried to reason with them. *ThomasG10mtn* - we can see it, so *WHAT IS YOUR POINT?* The troll has posted the same question 4 times today. Each time they get a reasonable answer, they delete their original comment - so the thread disappears. *TL;DR:* Tycho is big, we can see it. The LM is small, so we can't.

    No, f you do the math right - which means taking into account pixel resolution aliasing - you can achieve resolution better than your "limit" -- which means you're both wrong; and that even as you tap on his shoulder to call out the troll, there's another bigger hand tapping on your shoulder from behind. The relevant criterion is that given by the point spread function, *not* the pixel resolution. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub-pixel_resolution

    *@​Antares849* Honestly, I have tried, many times. His/her point seems to be, we can see the Tycho crater therefore we should be able to see the lunar module. That makes no sense. Tycho is really big, the LM is really small. That's all there is to it. It is sorta "weird" that we can see Tycho from Earth, because it is right on the limit of angular resolution. Weird, but understandable - because tbh, we're not seeing just the crater; we're seeing the light reflected from that really anomalous bright area, and the "spokes" going out from it. We're not really "seeing" the crater itself. We can _just_ see Tycho. Which makes perfect sense, given the calculations of angular resolution. Seriously, do the math yourself - it's not even hard. We cannot see the LM. We'd need a telescope with a 100m aperture, and even then it'd be a vague dot. But the very best telescopes in the world today do not have a 100m aperture. They have about a 10m aperture. Fortunately, that does not matter. We can just go closer. LRO took great photos of all the Apollo landing sites. And, of course, we have thousands of photos from the original missions.

    *@​Rock Brentwood* c/f Dawes' limit. (Not criticizing. Just adding a quick mention.) For others reading this; if you squish photons too close together, they interfere with each other. That limits how far we can see. It's easy maths, really. To see something 10m (3') wide from 380,000 km (240,000 miles) requires an aperture (ie an opening, in a camera) about 100m (33') wide. The biggest that exist are about 10m (3'). That's all. Check what I said. Check the facts. BTW, you might see stuff about bigger telescopes.. but those are *radio* telescopes, not optical. Different thing. Also, you might ask me about interferometry. That's a fair point. It is _possible_ to use several telescopes and have a bigger lens. It's really, really hard. I mean... they recently spent 10 years getting a picture of a black hole.. which is very cool... We could, in theory, spend 10 years and billions on some kind of international collaboration to get a tiny, blurry picture of the LM. Does not matter, will not help. Crazy people will just claim it's fake, same as the thousands of existing pictures.
