      Simply amazing picture. Click to embiggen, then look dead center, where there are three craters in a lopsided triangle. Aristillus is the northernmost one, with the mountain peaks in center. My first two novels were set just SW of the peaks. "Staking a Claim" set on N slopes.https://twitter.com/AntonioParis/status/1130972810686410753 …

      You can not. You can't even see the LEM lower stage. ...even from LEO, where you don't have atmospheric distortion. I've done the math on

      @BrendanEich is answering the question "do we have proof that Apollos landed on the moon?" I agree with him; we have tons of proof. I was answering the question that was asked "can we see any of the flags from Earth?". We can not.

      Wikipedia: “Further imaging in 2012 shows the shadows cast by the flags planted by the astronauts on all Apollo landing sites. The exception is that of Apollo 11, which matches Buzz Aldrin's account of the flag being blown over by the lander's rocket exhaust on leaving the Moon.”pic.twitter.com/PQqb9EG2n8

      The original question was "can we see them from earth?" You're citing LRO, which was in lunar orbit. We can't see flags or LEM landing stage from Earth or LEO bc target size and distance mean that angular size from here is insanely small. Did the math once. Fractions of arc sec

          Thanks, I lost the plot in this thread, indeed. Can't see anything that small from earth; can bounce laser off reflector though.
