Remember the "Wow!" signal? That high-energy radio signature occurred in 1977, when Earth was much "quieter" in the radio band. If it happened today, it probably wouldn't even move the needle on the ...

A new lunar telescope proposal is trying to reach the moon’s far side before the area loses its unique radio silence. The Lunar Farside Transients and Technology Telescope (LFT3) could help scientists ...

Placing radio telescopes on the moon could enable imaging of nearly 30 black hole shadows, far beyond current Earth-based capabilities. By extending the interferometry baseline to include the ...

A lightweight new X-ray telescope could finally give scientists something they’ve never had before: a complete chemical map of the Moon. Researchers used detailed mission simulations to show that a ...

NASA scientists are currently working on plans to build a giant radio telescope in a nearly mile-wide crater on the "dark side" of the moon. If approved, it could be constructed as early as the 2030s ...

Later this year, a prototype telescope is slated to land on the moon. It could usher in a new era of lunar radio astronomy. The far side of the moon (shown in this image from Artemis II) is an ideal ...

Telescope sales climbed sharply in the months after the 1969 moon landing, turning a specialty item into a common household purchase. Many vintage department-store refractors carried genuine ...
