NASA plans to build a giant radio telescope on the 'dark side' of the moon

NASA plans to build a giant radio telescope in a lunar crater on the far side of the moon. The Lunar Crater Radio Telescope (LCRT), estimated to cost $2.6 billion, could be constructed by robots in the 2030s. This project aims to study ultra-long wavelengths and explore the universe's early "dark ages," while avoiding interference from satellite constellations and Earth's atmosphere. The proposed 1,150-foot-wide mesh reflector could revolutionize our understanding of cosmology and fundamental physics.
