giant radio telescope

A giant radio telescope is a massive dish-shaped instrument used to detect radio waves emitted by objects in space, such as stars, galaxies, and nebulae. Its large size allows it to gather faint signals from faraway cosmic sources with high sensitivity and resolution. By analyzing these signals, scientists can learn about the universe's structure, dynamics, and origins. The telescope often consists of a vast, adjustable metal surface that acts as an antenna, connected to sensitive electronics for signal processing. Its scale and engineering enable detailed study of the universe beyond what visible light alone can reveal.
