NASA's Plan to Turn the Moon Into a Telescope Looks Like the Death Star
"A newly funded concept envisions a kilometer-wide radio telescope built inside a
crater on the far side of the Moon. Whoa." "Not only would this telescope avoid all the radio interference produced by humans, it would also be observing the universe without the veil of an atmosphere. Earth’s atmosphere is quite useful for keeping us all alive, but it also blocks many wavelengths of light from reaching ground-based observatories, including low- frequency wavelengths that exceed 10 meters. “An ultra-long-wavelength radio telescope on the far side of the Moon has tremendous advantages compared to Earth-based and Earth-orbiting telescopes,” Bandyopadhyay said in his proposal abstract. “LCRT could enable tremendous scientific discoveries in the field of cosmology by observing the early universe in the 10–50m wavelength band (i.e., 6–30MHz frequency band), which has not been explored by humans to date.”" See: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/e...the-death-star |
