I may have mistyped. But I do clearly remember seeing things on tv about spy satellites being able to read newspaper headlines. Which are clearly much larger than the story type.

It may be possible. I don't remember the math. But considering that light spreads and becomes diminished with the square of the distance travelled it just seems highly unlikely.

Newspaper story, eh? Well, we know that those are always 100% factually accurate. But you may be right. I don't suppose there is anyone on this site who knows for sure.

Shalom.
