A Listener asks why telescopes haven't imaged the Lunar landing sites
It's the Quirks & Quarks Question Period. You think of a question, and we'll ask a Canadian scientist to tell us the answer. Today's question comes to us from Richard D'Lima - who currently lives in Bangkok, but is originally from Montreal. He asked the following: "Why is it we have never seen a picture of the lunar landing site - from 1969 - with the Hubble telescope or other similar telescopes?"
To help us answer this question, we set our sights on Dr. Sara Ellison, an astronomer at the University of Victoria.
