| The largest objects that astronauts left on the Moon are the descent stages of the six lunar modules. They're each about 15 feet wide. In order to see something that size at the distance of the Moon (about 250,000 miles on average), you would need a telescope with a diameter of at least 100 meters (300+ feet). The largest telescope on Earth is about 10 meters in diameter. Even the Hubble Space Telescope, which has a diameter of 2.4 meters, cannot see anything we left on the Moon. It’s just not big enough or close enough to the Moon.
