radiotelescopes

We peer out at the edge of the universe with our radiotelescopes, yet it's only recently that scientists have started to question a worldview that stretches back to the beginning of civilization.

Lunar geology could be done less expensively with automated systems, radiotelescopes on the lunar farside actually have little advantage over terrestrial installations.

If we can see farther, it's not only because, like Newton, we're standing on the shoulders of giants we've also got orbiting radiotelescopes, infrared cameras and radar imaging.

As the thing on which we stood went up and up, things like antennae, like giant radiotelescopes, like Jodrell Bank, like stuff on TV, began unfolding down below, swinging up into sight.

In order to collect radio waves from cosmic radio sources one utilizes radiotelescopes.

A lavish purse was essential for developing radioastronomy, for it was soon realized that just as large optical telescopes with huge mirrors are needed to collect and resolve the light from far reaches of space, so large radiotelescopes with huge bowls are needed to collect the radio waves over a big area to improve the signal strength of the faint emissions which are generated at great distances in the cosmos.

Various scientists have proposed the use of radiotelescopes to search for signals such as might be sent out by intelligent beings in space.

The larger radiotelescopes have increased knowledge about our near neighbor the moon — a number of accepted ideas have simply been turned upside down — and have had a major impact on methods of study and understanding of the regions of the universe which lie beyond the solar system.

The proper analogy is to the way astronomers use instruments like radiotelescopes to create images with "fake" colors to see things in new ways - or to the original inspiration of Eadweard Muybridge, the 19th-century British photographer who achieved a new understanding of a horse's gait by creating a camera array with electromagnetic shutters set off by tripwires.
