O Mundo de Claudia

What can you see from the moon?

Just the other day a colleague was telling me that the great wall of China couldn't be seen from space=modern myth.

I checked because I remembered that "What human made construction can be seen from the moon?" is a Trivial Pursuit Classic question. The answer is "The Great Wall of China".

Well, apparently it's wrong. This article explains that Apollo astronauts could not make out manmade features from the Moon but many human constructs like highways or egyptian pyramids can be seen from Earth orbit.

So you are right, Luis! :-)
