Welcome to the solar system

Welcome to the solar system
quote: "astronomers these days can do the most amazing things. if someone struck a match on the moon, they could spot the flare."

response: After reading the article, the first sentence I read still captured my attention the best. Because I don't understand what it means. Does it mean that if astronauts went to the moon and lit a match on it. That we on earth could see the light. Because If so I don't understand how if earth is so far away from the moon, how we could possibly see it from the earth. But at the same time maybe because we can see the moon at night in the sky, we could see lights flicking on it like even a small lit match.
