Using the Large Phased Array (LPA) and the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), astronomers from ...

China has completed the world’s largest radio telescope, known as FAST — but its true purpose goes beyond size. In this video, we explore how the FAST telescope works, what it's listening for, and why ...

Satellites in low Earth orbit currently disrupt radioastronomical observations hundreds of times a day. An automated data-sharing system co-developed by SpaceX and American radio astronomers promises ...

We've all come to appreciate the beautiful images space telescopes provide us of galaxies, nebulas and more, but they also provide astronomers with important scientific information about our universe.

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 safeguard ...
