Apparently the radar imaging resolution was to about 5-meters across, impressive. From the article, "Scientists spent two years developing the technology to take these detailed images of the moon from Earth, and now, they can capture snapshots of lunar objects as small as 16.4 feet (5 meters) across from about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers) away."

My observation. The Moon 385,000 km from Earth, a telescope using optical light with eyepiece and focal length resolving 1", can see an area ~ 1.867 km in diameter. It will not be long before some start asking to see radar images of the Apollo landing sites with the equipment left behind
