radio telescope

To tackle this challenge, scientists are turning to vast radio telescope networks designed to map subtle variations in cosmic radio intensity.

On Earth, radio telescopes track these pulses not only to learn about the pulsars themselves, but also to use them as tools for studying the structure and behavior of the wider universe.

Thanks to ultra-sensitive radio telescopes like LOFAR, astronomers are eager to discover several such mysterious radio systems and find out how dead stars spring back to life as powerful radio torches in the sky.

The desert's extreme aridity makes it one of the clearest places on Earth to view the night sky and is famous for being home to the largest radio telescope in the world.

Experts analysed more than 100 star-forming galaxies in the distant universe using the world's largest radio telescope, known as ALMA, located in Chile's Atacama desert.
