Lunar Crater Telescope Sites

Post by seer »


They built a radio telescope in a crater on earth. Will they be doing the same on the far side of the moon and if so have they started picking out which craters would be best?

I've read about the concept in astro mags or Science News or something and there was also mention in at least one sci-fi novel, but I've not seen anything about it for several years. But my info could out of date.

Perhaps China have already built a moon base on the far side :D
Just call me Geoff....

I do what I do because I can, and because I want to.
It doesn't mean I know what I'm doing :mrgreen:
