Artificial structures visible from space without magnification include highways, dams, and cities. [1][2][3] The Great Wall of China, often cited as the only human-made structure visible from space, is difficult to discern from even low earth orbit and can require very good viewing conditions. [3][4] Whether an object is visible depends ...
Objects at greater than 90 degrees east or west are on the far side of the Moon, including Ranger 4, Lunar Orbiter 1, Lunar Orbiter 2, Lunar Orbiter 3, Chang'e 4 lander and Yutu-2 rover. Because of increasing numbers of missions to and objects at the Moon, a global registry of lunar activities has been proposed in 2023 by the Open Lunar Foundation.
The term artificial objects is closely associated with made by humans or not naturally occurring items that have been sent into space.
