What advantages would you have if you built an observatory on the lunar surface?
If you built an observatory on the lunar surface, there would be no atmosphere to battle in viewing what you needed to see. Therefore, as far as an observatory goes, one could see more due to the fact that the sky would be much more clear from the moon since it has no atmosphere than that of Earth, which does.
Would you feel heaviest on earth or on moon?
You would feel heaviest on Earth due to its stronger gravitational pull compared to the Moon. The gravitational force on the Moon is about one-sixth that of Earth, which would make you weigh less on the Moon than on Earth.
Is it impossible to skateboard on the moon?
Yes, it is impossible to skateboard on the moon due to the lack of atmosphere and gravity. Without gravity to keep the skateboarder grounded and friction from the lack of atmosphere, it would be difficult to maneuver and maintain balance on a skateboard.
If you stand on the moon can you see the earth from the moon and why?
It depends on where on the moon you are. If you are on the side of the moon facing Earth, yes. If you are on the side facing away, no. If you are on the Earth-facing side you can see Earth because there is nothing obstructing your view, and Earth is a good deal larger than the moon, which would make it a very prominent object in the sky. On the side facing away you cannot se Earth because the moon is blocking your view

What are prospects of astronomical observation from the moon?
The main prospects of an observatory on the moon is that there would be less artificial light from human activity to cloud the visible light from stellar objects, and also, having no atmosphere means there would be less interference of the image that a telescope/observatory would be trying to see.

It would present communication problems, BUT it would be an excellent place to set up an observatory.
What is the name of the observatory near Chicago with a crater on the moon and asteroid 990?
The observatory near Chicago with a crater on the moon and asteroid 990 is called the Yerkes Observatory. It is a facility of the University of Chicago and is located in Williams Bay, Wisconsin. The observatory houses a large refracting telescope and has a historical legacy in astronomical research.
