The world’s largest single-dish radio telescope can be a pain to maintain, so Chinese astronomers are using smart robots to make the job easier.

Radio astronomers concede that, in the best of all possible worlds, the best site for a telescope like the one proposed by the N.G.A.T. team would be high and dry, in a desert, rather than in the ...

Radio telescopes observe by reflecting incoming radio waves to a point above the dish. A secondary reflector bounces the waves back toward the center of the dish, where feeds convert and send the ...
