I know this has been discussed before but maybe someone can clarify this for me. Observatories have been around for many many years and some really great photographs have been taken of the Earth's Moon. Where are all of these photographs from observatories to make comparisons with from satellite and ground zero photos of the Moon.
Hi Ron,
I haven't seen any images of the Moon from Palomar either. It is possible that some were taken long ago, but astronomers would rather explore the Moon with spacecraft and use the big telescopes for observing much, much fainter objects.

All of you are really working very hard and as I look at the pictures all I see is what looks like the artificial sky them there Grey's have created down under.

When I have time and can get the addresses I will contact others, especially foreign ones.
But that answer is scary It means that all they have is one source of images to study... from NASA
