If we have the largest telescope in the world, can we see the flag on the surface of the moon?

Question

I recently found this reel on instagram that we have captured a little image/video of the sun.

Given how far the earth is to the moon, could it be possible for us to see the flag on the surface on the moon then if man actually landed on the moon?

Answer 1

No. Ironically, the Moon’s too close. Evening you pointed Hubble or JWST at the Apollo 11 landing site and it was at the right angle to see the flag, all you’d get is a giant blur.
