Why not Hubble?

If SMART-1 can get an eyeful, 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."

Meanwhile, the trickiest task that the SMART-1 scientists have set themselves is to use a spacecraft spectrometer to look for the infrared signature of water ice, and perhaps frozen carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide too. Previous missions have provided evidence for water ice tucked away in permanently shadowed polar craters.

Any water on the lunar surface would be very helpful in the creation of permanent bases on the Moon, as outlined last year by President Bush. Other nations have Moon plans, too.

But to have survived, the water must be in the form of ice in places always hidden from the Sun. Such dark places exist, notably in the bottoms of small craters in the Moon’s polar regions.

Terapin has the same link that this came from.


The Hubble Space Telescope imaged the Moon in 1999. The view is the 58-mile-wide (93-kilometer) impact crater Copernicus.

I was reading something on why the Hubble couldn't take clear shots of the moons surface and it was said that it's analogous to trying to look at bacteria with a telescope instead of using a microscope. Made since to me!

is an attempt to confirm the Apollo missions as genuine. There will always be some that say that this is faked also.

Get it through your heads Naysayers, WE WENT TO THE MOON!

It is sad to see some folks hanging on to a conspiracy theory this stupid, but I guess some still want to believe the Moon is made of cream cheese.


well..it's an european project and it would not surprise me, if this is the basic reason for some people over here that smart-1 simple has to be a fake. remember, even french scientists and engineers are allowed to work at esa.
i'm starting the countdown till the first one will start a "serious" discussion why (if smart-1 gets some closeup images) these are faked too.
but we can work both with the english and the metric system..are good enough to help develop ballistic missiles and nasa rockets, but hey...deny reality..

edit: of course it was "cooperation"

American Mad Man, you foolish person!

You expect logic or coherency from the hoax-believers?

Here is how it really happened:

The Greys exist, of course, and they have been selling us their technology since 1942 in return for people to eat.

The first deal was made at the Treaty of Nieue Schwabenland with the Nazis in 1943, where the Greys gave Hitler (who liked Antarctica so much he moved there and lived there until his death in 1989) the designs for their weaponry. The cost, of course, was three Jews per Grey per week (which is why the Holocaust isn't a hoax; but the Jews weren't gassed , they were given to the Greys).

For the next 25 years, the Nazis and their successors (John F. Kennedy, his half-brother Lee Harvey Oswald, Ho Chi Minh, and the entire Board of Directors of the International House of Pancakes) were too busy investigating and settling Pellucidar (the interior of the hollow Earth lit by a tiny sun in the exact center) after winning the Great Underground War with the Niburans and their Atlantean allies. By the time the war was over, they had begun the second phase of the Plan which was to design instructions to the center of the earth as well as the secrets of the Ancient Krishnavedanta Indian Nuclear devices. This work, carried out by Erich von Däniken and Cliff Carneycon, is available (in code) at the Denver International Airport for all to see.

The plan almost failed when Jeff Rense, a secret neocon and half-brother to both George Bush; and Art Bell, the illegitimate offspring of Queen Elizabeth as the result of a teenaged romantic fling with Nikita Krushchev and thus the Rightful King of England, both threatened to blow the whistle on the whole thing. They was killed, of course, and were replaced by cleverly-disguised Greys.

And that’s why we didn’t go to the Moon.

drbryankkruta says:

"That is a good idea about hubble , but do we know we are still aligned correctly or will they find nothing because they dont have the right coordinates, that would just put us back to where we are now , someone with dummied up photos or real photos thought to be dummied."

It doesn't matter. The reason we cannot see the lunar lander or the soviet robotic landers is that the HST does not have a wide enough aperture.

Theoretical resolving power (that is being able to determine one thing from another, like the lander from the ground) is driven by what's called the Rayleigh criterion. It is an equation that says the theoretical lower size limit of something you can see is based on the aperture of the viewing device (~5 mm for your eye's pupil; ~2.4 m for the HST), the distance to the object, and some other derivatives. for those of you who are interested, it is:

Rt = (1.22 X w X A) / Do,

where

Rt is the theoretical resolution (how small something can be and still be seen as something different);
1.22 is a conversion factor;
w is the wavelength of light (say 600 nm for visible spectrum);
A is aperture;
Do is distance to the object.

If you plug in the numbers, the smallest thing we could see on the moon (given perfect eyes with a pupil diameter of 5 mm) and perfect viewing conditions would be an object 55.6 km across.

With the HST, given its aperture of about 2.4 m, the smallest thing you could see on the moon (and of course, in space the conditions are much better) is about 115 meters.

This means you could point HST at the Moon and see something about as big as a football stadium, but it'd still only be a dot.

Remember, the resolving power isn't driven by the magnification; once you get past the Rayleigh Limit, the extra magnification doesn't mean anything.

Resolving power is driven by the wavelength of light as well. If you used radio waves, UV, IR, or X-rays, you'd get more or less capability, but not all that much. And then you'd have to convert the image using special film!

If anyone here has Microsoft Excel, I just put together a spreadsheet that allows you to enter an aperture and a distance, and you can find how small something can be and still be seen.

U2U me, and I will be glad to send it to you.

Here's all (or at least most) the photos from the apollo missions
www.apolloarchive.com...
There's no way you can fake all those...

Besides, if we did go into space (no one is disputing that as thousands saw the rockets take off), where did they go?
Did they just go in orbit for a while, dump the LMs into space, then come back?
