Can the Hubble Space Telescope take pictures of the moon's surface? and if so, how close could we get to the surface as far as detail is concerned?? also could it capture images from "the Dark Side"? (0 lux photography capable?) seems to me if the hubble can see billions of light years away, it could surely capture a glimpse of some of the @ 170,000 kg of junk we left up there over the years...a buggy comes to mind...its gotta still be there ...right?!? |

"Why not use the Hubble space telescope to take photos of the Apollo landing sites? Hubble did photograph the Moon, in 1999. 'Anything left on the Moon cannot be resolved in any Hubble image,' According to the Space Telescope Science Institute, which operates Hubble for NASA. 'It would just appear as a dot'." http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/050304_moon_snoop.html Here are some of the Hubble photos of the Moon: http://oposite.stsci.edu/pubinfo/pr/1999/14/content/9914z.jpg |

Incidentally, the Moon has no permanent "dark side." The term "dark side" just refers to the part of the Moon that is not visible from earth at any given time. |

Spacecraft to check out Apollo Moon sites A European spacecraft now orbiting the Moon could turn out to be a time machine of sorts as it photographs old landing sites of Soviet robotic probes and the areas where American Apollo crews set down and explored. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/space/2005-03-04-moon-landing-snoop_x.htm |

A similar question: "How could I go about building a telescope such that it would be able to clearly view the US landing sites on the moon?" http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=19030 Regards THX1138 |

The Lunar Orbiter probes were able to photograph the shadows of the Surveyor spacecraft while they were on the moon. The Apollo expeditions would have left more obvious "footprints". I would therefore think that the SMART probe would have had no problem photographing the Apollo sites. Mongolia |
