The first radio telescope on the Moon.

Various forms of communication are being analyzed in case one day the time comes when a message is captured, to be able to interpret it, even if these civilizations use the radio to communicate with neighboring planets or to communicate with their ships and we can capture one of those powerful signals, they will do so in their language and in their form of communication, which can be very strange compared to ours.


But we really have tools to capture those radio and light messages that can roam the universe, or are so extremely weak that our current technology is incapable of detecting them, the answer is that in the last 50 years we have made a lot of progress in terms of improving our telescope tools, radio telescopes, although we have lost the wonder of the Arecibo radio telescope, that was a huge delay.




According to information published in Scientific Life on May 30, it turns out that there is a plan financed by NASA to build a large radio telescope on the far side of the Moon and that it is about to obtain final approval and could become a reality in the 1930s. It is a very ambitious project, it will of course help to capture signals from the cosmos with unprecedented precision and cleanliness, because a radio telescope on the far side of the moon would not have the interference that occurs here on Earth, of course nor the constellations of satellites, nor of airplanes, nor of all the interference that radio telescopes here on Earth suffer today.


Nor would it have solar interference for at least 14 and a half Earth days, of course the sun also rises on the hidden side of the moon, let's see we don't see it on Earth, but the Sun also rises, what happens is that it never coincides because the Moon is trapped by the forces of Mary and always offers us the same face, there are 29 days which lasts one day, 14 and a half days of light and 14 and a half days of night, the capacity would be extraordinary.

An investigation was also published on March 15 of this year 2025, it is data that was collected from the Odiseus lander, a lander that went quite badly, was left lying down but at least served to do some experiments among them are those collected here and are partly to analyze the terrestrial technosignatures and the galactic background to eliminate that type of noise and also think about the construction of that radio telescope on the moon.


The idea was proposed in 1984, the current plan would involve building a 350 meter wide mesh reflector that would be a little larger than the one in Arecibo, but smaller than China's FAST, it would be smaller than the project that was presented in 2020, the one in 2020 wanted it to be 1000 m in diameter and to do so take advantage of a crater on the moon, in fact, they have already located a perfect crater for that This radio telescope, a crater of 1300 meters in diameter with which it could be expanded at any time, the receiver dish could be expanded from those initial 350 meters to those 1000 or even a little more.


Who would build all this and who would repair it, according to the project they would be robots perhaps Optimus from Tesla, it would be ready in 2030 and here we reach a point that seems a little amazing to me, I don't know how these people have done the calculations but according to the promoters of the project it seems that it will pass the approval of NASA which is what amazes me most about the news and how NASA is now according to the promoters this radio telescope would cost 2.6 billion dollars which is worth a lot money, but it seems very little to me, I would sign already, if I could of course.
