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

If you are talking about a telescope here on Earth, it’s a terrible spot to look from. Our air, specifically atmospheric turbulence, really messes up the view from most locations.
