Address is a hash of a public key - you cannot get it out from it just like that.

If you have the private key, you can get the public key.

If bitcoins that were received at that address have ever been sent elsewhere, then you can find the public key in the blockchain.

If you have any message that was signed using the private key from that address, then you can get the public key from the signature.

If all you have is the bitcoin address, then it is not possible to get the public key.

If that address was ever spent from the public key will show up at blockexplorer.com .

A Bitcoin address includes a hash of the Public Key and a checksum to prevent mistypes from being accepted as valid addresses. The Public Key is disclosed when you spend Bitcoin from an address but not when you receive Bitcoins to that address.

You can only find it if someone has used it on the blockchain, and spent those satoshis. Or you generate it completely randomly yourself(good luck)
