Hubble is best seen from areas of the Earth that are between the latitudes of 28.5 degrees north and 28.5 degrees south. In contrast, the ISS passes over much more of the Earth because its orbit has a higher inclination at 51.6 degrees.

Refractor telescopes use specialized lenses that make them a favorite for deep space objects like galaxies and nebulae. Reflector telescopes are more popular with larger and brighter objects like the Moon and planets because they use mirrors that provide more sensitivity to all wavelengths.

Hubble doesn’t have as many surfaces to reflect the sunlight like the ISS has and that’s why it will never appear as bright. You don’t need a telescope or binoculars to see it.

Also visible to the naked eye is the Hubble Space Telescope. Russia’s Soyuz and Progress spacecraft, as well as SPaceX’s Dragon and Orbital ATK’s Cygnus capsules, are much smaller than NASA’s space shuttles (which were also visible to the naked eye until they were retired in 2011).

Throughout the movie, Armstrong is seen holding his daughter’s bracelet — and even takes it to the moon and throws it into a giant crater there before returning home. Long story short, no one really knows. “Leaving tokens on the moon for loved ones or lost ones was something that was regularly done.

They left things behind, including science experiments, tools, backpacks, boots and food pouches. The astronauts also gave the moon a few special gifts. The Apollo 11 crew, the first moon walkers, brought a silicon disc the size of a 50-cent piece to leave on the moon.

Four of America’s moonwalkers are still alive: Aldrin (Apollo 11), David Scott (Apollo 15), Charles Duke (Apollo 16), and Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17). In all, 24 American astronauts made the trip from the Earth to the Moon between 1968 and 1972.

When Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface, he famously said: “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” Along with Collins and Aldrin, Armstrong was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Richard Nixon….
