ppl the ans is no man made thing......
surprising but true
"Many are familiar with the claim that the Great Wall of China is the only man-made object visible from space or from the moon with the naked eye. This is simply not true.
From a low orbit of the earth, many artificial objects are visible on the earth, such as highways, ships in the sea, railroads, cities, fields of crops, and even some individual buildings. While at a low orbit, the Great Wall of China can be seen from space but it is not unique in that regard.
Furthermore, when leaving the earth's orbit and acquiring an altitude of more than a few thousand miles, no man-made objects are visible at all. NASA says, "The Great Wall can barely be seen from the Shuttle, so it would not be possible to see it from the Moon with the naked eye." Thus, it'd be tough to spot the Great Wall of China or any other object from the moon. Furthermore, from the moon, even the continents are barely visible."

It was though that great wall of china was the only man made object visible from space (not moon). But last year when china sent its astronaut to space, he couldn't spot the great wall even though he flew over china a number of times.
Moon is very far away from earth and there is no manmade object on earth that can be viewed from moon.

Nothing - it is a myth that the Great Wall of China is visible from the moon.

I assume you mean man made object, and no man made object is visible on earth from space. Those who answered the Great Wall of China are incorrect, just check the NASA website and they actually debunk this as an early space program myth...

The Great Wall of China and the oceans, most seas and larger land masses (Mainland Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South America. I'm not sure if Australia is large enough to be visible or not.
