...I doubt that very much. ...I doubt that even more. ...To who? You? You weren't even aware of Dawes' limit. ...Rhea has a diameter of about 1,528 km. It's about 886 pixels across at the full resolution of that photo. That's a spatial resolution of 1.72 km per pixel. So what you're actually saying (without realizing it) is that you want to see a photo of the flag on the moon with a resolution of 1.72 km per pixel. Ok. Here you go: [ link to farm4.staticflickr.com] In this image the moon is about 4270 pixels wide. The moon's diameter is about 3474 km so the image has a spatial resolution of about 0.814 km/pixel, twice as good as the Cassini photo of Rhea. Yeah, good luck seeing the flag... Quoting: Dr. Astro Rhea crater? I don't know where you got that name..i mean the photo 2nd from the bottom on that link The 13-mile (21-km) wide Giordano Bruno crater on the Moon’s far side was recently imaged by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter [ link to lightsinthedark.wordpress.com] The Giordano Bruno crater image is from LRO, it's the same satellite that took the images of the Apollo sites! 21 km wide eh? It's about 880 pixels across in that image. That's about 23.8 meters per pixel. That's not even enough resolution to see the LM descent stage, let alone the flag. The images of the Apollo landing sites from LRO show that they're real, they agree perfectly with the images taken by the astronauts during the Apollo program. [ link to blogs.discovermagazine.com] You are a troll, plain and simple. nope your'e the troll, regurgitating the same crappy photos that show nothing besides the fact that you are delusional Whine, whine, whine, but nothing to back up your whiney complaints with. You set the goalpost at "seeing" the flag on the moon. Well they've done that. That was the goalpost you set and it has been met. a dot on a screen isn't evidence, wouldn't the colour at least stand out n so be a red pixel,
Quoting: ACA dot on a screen that is exactly where the flag should have been, next to another slightly fainter dot from the flag's shadow, is indeed evidence, particularly in context of all the other Apollo equipment surrounding it in the image. You set the goalpost (an unnecessary arbitrary one at that) at an image of the flag, that is what that is whether you want to deny it or not. It's a monochrome imager (as all the best astronomical CCDs in the world are), there is no color.
