Would it be possible to burn an image on to the surface of the moon?

Asked by poisonedantidote (21675points) July 28th, 2012

I was just wondering what the reality would be, if someone wanted to burn an image on to the surface of the moon.

How hard would it be to use a powerful laser to burn a picture on to the surface of the moon, assuming the laser is stationed on our planet.

Is this possible with a strong enough laser?

Is it possible any other way?

What kind of calculations would you need to pull it off?
