Default Moon mark

Can somebody give me the link to the picture which shows the American
flag in the moon observed through a telescope from Earth or elsewhere?
Or is it not possible to observe the flag from Earth?

Default Moon mark

I just heard that there is no telescope on earth which can see the
hardware placed on the moon's surface during the pollo missions.
Although i don't believe that the moon landings were fake, i can have a
one-picture-proof, if i can get the photos of the equipments on the
surface on moon.

If you belong to the bunch of nonsense group who believe the hoax
theories, i recommand you read the article in this link.

http://www.braeunig.us/space/hoax.htm


NASA's verdict on moon hoax theories:-

"Did the Apollo astronauts really land on the Moon?

Of course they did! The Apollo Moon landings were among the most
completely documented and observed events in history. The conspiracy
"theories" that claim otherwise are a bunch of nonsense without even a
single compelling piece of evidence. Most of the questions raised are
based on ignorance of basic physics and optics. Video special effects
were in their infancy in the late 60's so that faking a landing on the
Moon would probably have been more difficult than actually going there,
and it seems highly unlikely that the hundreds or even thousands of
people who would have had to be involved in such a conspiracy would
have kept it a secret for so long.

Ultimately you'll have to decide for yourself if the marginal evidence
offered to show this was all a hoax is compelling enough to overturn
the overwhelming evidence that it actually occurred, but make sure you
check the facts carefully, you need to be a little skeptical of the
skeptics, too. For more detailed debunking of this ill-conceived
notion, see: http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/apollohoax.html,

It's not possible - our telescopes are much too small.

To be able to resolve the flags left on the Moon from on or near the
Earth, one would need an optical space telescope with an aperture of
at least some 250 meters! By going into the far ultraviolet, the
aperture requirements could be lowered to perhaps some 50 meters.
But we're nowhere near such a telescope yet.

What makes you think that such a photograph would convince anyone who
isn't already convinced?
