So, first off. The Moon is not a fucking asteroid, what kind of thought is that, what in the fuck? Second of all, disconnect your phone from any and all electrical sources. Does it work? Does it turn on? How? There is no electricity in the air, unless you live in a fucking cloud. Third, magnification is

Magnification = Telescope focal length / Eyepiece focal length

So, for example, if you use an average Orion telescope with a 1000mm focal length with a 25mm eyepiece, the magnification would be 40x. The human eye can see a candle flicker at about 30 miles away on a dark night, and an open field. I know you aren't dumb enough to not be able to do the math, and know with a average Orion telescope, you can see a flickering candle about 1200 miles away. Want to know how faw away Luna is?

238,900 miles away from Earth. You couldn't see the Empire State Building on the moon from that distance.

Quit being a fucking idiot, Alec.
