What man made monument or building can be seen from moon?

Today I thought I will share something super fun and super interesting with everyone. What man made monument can be seen by naked eye far from the moon?

Any guesses? well if I were asked this question I might have said Great Wall Of China also or something similar but from my research it looks like I have got the wrong answer.

The true fact is that, you cannot see anything on earth from the moon.

You can see monuments and other artifacts from the space which is just 100km away from the earth, but moon it is impossible.

However, at an altitude of only a few thousand miles after leaving the Earth’s orbit, no objects made by man are visible. Further to clarify the fact, even continents are not visible at few thousand altitude.

    You can see beautiful earth from the moon, I wonder if it still looks blue and beautiful like before with all the pollution.

    What are you talking about? Of course you can see continents from a few thousand miles into space. According to Wikipedia “the average centre-to-centre distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384,403 km” (or 238,856.95 miles). I’ll agree that in all of the pics we have of the Earth from the moon the continents are occluded by clouds, but they’re still plainly visible.

    Stumblerz,

    It’s true you cannot see any man made objects from the Moon. However, you CAN barely just about make out the continents.

    Nice blog btw..
