If you're not under dark skies you'll probably struggle, even with binoculars. I live in a city and could make it out with my 120mm scope but definitely couldn't see it with binoculars.

Pinching some from cgp grey:

• if the sun went supernova and you donated a nuclear bomb in front of your face, the supernova would still be brighter
• a supernova is so big even the neutrino flux at earth-sun distance would be lethal

Would probably be more accurate to say the moon is tidally to the earth. Also, the reason the moon is tidally locked is more to do with the gravitational interaction between the two bodies rather than its origin.
