where can i find a picture of the moonlandings?

Question

i want a picture of the moon landing site taken fron a telescope on earth. please help me!

Answer 1

No such pictures exist. Not even the Hubble Space Telescope has enough resolution to take pictures of objects that small. If it were about 10 times larger, the HST could find the lower stages of the LMs.

Here's a picture of the Apollo 17 landing site taken by the HST: http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/entire_collection/pr2005029g/

And, here's a entry from the official Hubble website that directly addresses your question: http://hubblesite.org/reference_desk/faq/answer.php.id=77&cat=hst

Answer 2

There are many photographs of the parts of the Moon where the Apollo space craft landed, but none of them will show the Apollo hardware on the surface because no telescope in the world is big enough to show detail that small so far away. A simple calculation using trigonometry, combined with Dawe's limit, will tell you that the Hubble Space Telescope is way too small to show something as small as the Apollo hardware at a distance of 240,000 miles.

Answer 3

As other people have said, you can't get a photo of the actual moon landing sites, however space.com has a printable moon map that shows the relative positions of each of the 6 sites. It also shows some of the interesting features such as the maria and larger craters.

Answer 4

To make the flag appear as if a real, flying flag, in case you look heavily on the flagpole, there's a helping beam that holds the flag in a "flying" place... for the reason which you're maximum surprising.. there is not any wind on the moon.. so what may be the part of putting a flag up except one would desire to work out it "flying?"

Answer 5

What your asking for is a picture of the moon.. try the Nasa site or click Hubble ,, or ask Richard Branston to take you there

Answer 6

I don't think you can actually see the landing sites from earth, I think they are too small. But Here are some links that show you where on the moon to look.
