look at the photo of earth they took from the moon
do u think in that photo it is possible to see something on earth 86 km in diameter
what do u think
Hm, I'd want angular diameter calculations given that size and distance, and compare it to pixel measurements of the crater on a picture to get angular diameter of that.
I'll try angular diameter of the crater
u dont need some crazy math for this
the diameter of the crater is 86 km lol
But we kinda do in order to solidify the argument?
ok the diameter of the crater is 86 diameters why do u need more info than that
we can see it from earth
u cant see an 86 km thing the other direction
I need distance as well
Not exact, but that is 238k miles?
384,400 km
It comes to 0.013 degrees
Angular resolution for the eye is generally about 0.02 degrees
Can you see it with the naked eye?
death
u can see tycho with the naked eye
Hmmm
Tycho is one of the few lunar craters you can actually see with the naked eye. If you stare squarely at it, you'll see a tiny, unresolved bright spot about a quarter of the way in from the southern limb.
I'll have to check that for myself
yeah go look at the moon u can see it unaided
no telescope no zoom can no binoculars
what? no, you can't
lol u can
you can see only the big craters
tycho
u can
def can't see that one without binoculars
you're 100% wrong
lol really google it
might see a dark patch or a change in color
but you can't see tycho with the unaided eye
i have seen it with the naked eye personally but this is common knowledge
no, you haven't
google it
what is its shape
