NASA is developing a revolutionary plan to construct the largest space telescope ever—on the far side of the Moon. Using a lunar crater as a natural foundation, the proposed 350-meter-wide radio ...

Now, NASA’s dreaming even bigger. What if it could build a big radio telescope up on the Moon? NASA’s concept to turn a moon crater into a radio telescope using a number of cooperative rovers.

Despite decades of searching for this signal, astronomers have yet to find it. The problem is that our Earth is too noisy, making it nearly impossible to capture this whisper. The solution is to go to ...

The lunar telescope will have the capacity to detect ultra-low frequency radio waves (0.1–30 MHz ... NASA's proposal for a lunar telescope in a crater. However, China's project could be ...

The Odysseus spacecraft made a rough landing on the moon last year, toppling over and rendering much of its equipment unusable, but an onboard NASA radio telescope called ROLSES-1  was able to make so ...

One such project is the suggested NASA Lunar Crater Radio Telescope (LCRT) which would turn an entire lunar crater into a massive, 1 km diameter radio telescope. Proposed construction approach for ...

In 2021, Nasa engineers proposed the Lunar Crater Radio Telescope – a 1km-wide dish-shaped telescope inside a crater on the moon’s far side – to be built using wall-climbing robots that ...

Chinese scientists have proposed the idea of establishing a radio telescope array on the far side of the Moon. According to South China Morning Post (SCMP), this array will consist of 7,200 ...

British CubeSats may soon orbit the Moon’s far side, listening for the universe’s first radio whispers from the cosmic Dark ...

There are thousands of lunar craters that can be seen and enjoyed with a telescope. But some are prominent enough to be seen by smaller instruments such as binoculars. As the phase of the Moon ...
