At this time, the sun shines at such an angle to make it appear as if there is a gigantic 'V' and 'X' marking the barren ...

NASA’s concept to turn a moon crater into a radio telescope using a number of cooperative rovers. Credit: NASA, public domain. This concept has been on the cards for some time.

The Moon’s low gravity may also enable the construction of much larger telescopes than is feasible for free-flying satellites. These considerations have led the astronomer Jean-Pierre Maillard ...

This telescope lets you 'see the craters' on the moon — and it's nearly 50% off It makes a fantastic gift for those who love stargazing or astronomy.

On the Moon, a natural crater rim could provide this shielding for free. Permanently shadowed craters at the lunar poles could eventually host infrared telescopes. LROC/ASU/NASA ...

Rather than coated glass, the telescope’s mirror would be made of liquid, as it’s lighter, and thus cheaper, to transport to the Moon. The telescope’s mirror would be a spinning vat of ...

Matthew Hutson visits Houston, Texas, to learn about Lunar Resources, a startup that wants to build the largest telescope in the solar system—not here but on the moon.

Since the telescope won’t be steerable, it’ll point wherever that spot on the moon is pointing. That means it sweeps out a ring as the moon rotates once per month.

The telescope achieved superior resolving power and produced clear images of the surface of the Moon. Telescopes have been used to peer out into the universe for more than 400 years. In the early ...
