Suppose a 5.0-meter diameter telescope were constructed on the dark side of the moon.The viewing there (except for brief periods of sunlight)would be excellent.As an example,what would be the separation between two objects that could just be resolved on the planet Mars in 500 nm light? [The distance to Mars at closest approach is 50 million miles.]
