What telescope do I need to see the face on the moon, the flag ?

Expert Answer

Answered by Kurt Colbourne, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on April 29, 2021

Unfortunately, this is not something that can be easily answered. The Face was determined to be a trick of the light. A telescope with above 200x magnificaiton should show shapes on the moon's surface though.
