SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Under the gaze of a telescope, the Moon becomes too big to take in at once. Now you’ll see real mountains, and not just craters but the crater chains created when impact debris splashes around the main craters.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Celestron NexStar 5SE Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope is our top pick due to its all-around ease of use. Its primary 5-inch mirror offers crisp, intimate views of the moon and bright planets, and it provides an entry into views of distant galaxies and star clusters.

Detailed explanation-3: -The surface of the moon The moon’s surface is covered with dead volcanoes, impact craters, and lava flows, some visible to the unaided stargazer. Early scientists thought the dark stretches of the moon might be oceans, and so named such features mare, which is Latin for “seas” (maria when there are more than one).

Detailed explanation-4: -If we could look at the Moon through the Hubble Space Telescope, for which D is 2, 400 mm (94.5 inches), we’d be able to discern surface features as small as 0.05 arcsecond. When the Moon is closest to Earth, only 356, 000 kilometers (221, 000 miles) away, 0.05 arcsecond corresponds to about 85 meters (280 feet).

Detailed explanation-5: -Managing magnification A low magnification of around 50x will show you the whole moon and give you the “big picture.” But to see the moon at its best, try a high magnification, at least 150x. The moon can tolerate high magnification better than any object in the sky.

Detailed explanation-6: -Explanation: We can see the surface of the moon clearly through a telescope because telescopes are made for seeing the other planets, stars and natural satellites clearly . Though moon is a natural satellite, we can see the surface of it clearly .
