Link HERE for an article describing how the images were captured.
Very important information from the article:
A close-up view of Copernicus' terraced walls. Hubble can resolve features as small as 280 feet across.
Lunar landers, rovers, tracks, and footprints are all much smaller than 280 feet.
Pretty good info. Thanks for posting it. I’m wrong about the Moon being too close to focus on, but it would’ve been cool if it could’ve imaged the landing sites. LRO did that, of course.
I often get asked by people who show up for public viewing at our observatory if we can see the Apollo sites, and of course I tell them nope.
