Join us on Wednesday, February 12 at noon Pacific for the DIY Radio Telescopes Hack Chat with James Aguirre! For most of history, astronomers were privy to the goings-on in the universe only in a v… ...

A NASA-funded plan to build a large radio telescope on the moon's far side is nearing final approval and could become a reality by the 2030s, researchers say. The ambitious project will help ...

A DIY radio telescope won't have the power of the CARMA Radio Telescope seen here, but you'll have a view of the sky shared by few others. Share In 2010, on the far northern part of New Zealand ...

A cheap, DIY radio telescope can be built using a wok and readily available parts. This telescope detects radio waves from neutral hydrogen in the Milky Way galaxy. The project costs under $150 ...

Extremely sensitive radio telescopes can be made by hooking up arrays of individual antennas spread out over large areas – and the more antennas the better. However, sophisticated computer systems are ...

Similarly, astronomers could use existing lunar craters to build a radio telescope on the Moon for (relatively) cheap; impacting space rocks have already done the digging for them.

Perhaps the most ideal location for a radio telescope would be the far side of the Moon. But building a lunar telescope is easier said than done.

Researchers are making strides on a radio telescope array that would be unfurled on the far side of the moon by an unmanned rover operated by nearby astronauts. The rover would be commanded by ...
