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 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 ...

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.

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 ...

Now, don’t expect much from [Justin]’s minimalist build. After all, you’ll be starting with a rather small dish and an LNB for the Ku band, so you won’t be doing serious radio astronomy ...

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.

Astronomers want to build giant telescopes on the moon. They're already drafting blueprints and making proposals, some with cash from NASA.
