Hello Jonathan ....

Of course! It was also suggested to post an inquiry in this newgroup.

You asked this question in alt.astronomy and I know you read the
replies. Didn't you trust them?

It does seem a more appropriate group. Besides, it's really none of
our business if you didn't trust the answers from there.

IIRC, there really wasn't very much about the earth that was
distinguishable from the moon.

I think I was a bit tetchy this morning. Apologies to Phil and others.
But I'm not convinced you can see much of the continents from the Moon
(let alone the Great Wall of China :-) There's just too much cloud over
most of the Earth. There may well be descriptions in the Apollo Lunar
Surface Journals and elsewhere to prove me wrong, though.
