Find the distance between two objects on the Moon that can just barely be resolved by the Hubble Space Telescope. (The Hubble's mirror is 2.4 m in diameter. Hint: Use an estimate of 6.5 x 10-7 m (or 650 nm) for the wavelength of light in this calculation. For simplicity, take the distance between the Moon and the telescope to be 3.84 x 108 m.)
