How excatly that helped them?

Thank you for the reference. So with a bigger device like the Hubble do you think is possible to see a "flag sized object in the moon"? :shock:

Can someone explain a little bit how exactly this small telescope helped the Apollo mission to land in the Moon?

One of the APOD pictures' comment I've read in the past stated that not even with the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers are able to see details in the Moon surface.
