1. radio telescope

   A radio telescope is a specialized type of antenna and accompanying radio receiver used in the field of astronomy to detect and analyze radio waves from astronomical radio sources in the sky. This provides important information about galaxies, stars, planets, nebulae, and other celestial bodies, helping scientists to study the universe in more detail. These telescopes vary greatly in design, size, and configuration but all allow for the monitoring and exploration of radio-frequency radiation emitted by cosmic sources.

1. Radio telescope

   A radio telescope is a form of directional radio antenna used in radio astronomy. The same types of antennas are also used in tracking and collecting data from satellites and space probes. In their astronomical role they differ from optical telescopes in that they operate in the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum where they can detect and collect data on radio sources. Radio telescopes are typically large parabolic antennas used singly or in an array. Radio observatories are preferentially located far from major centers of population to avoid electromagnetic interference from radio, TV, radar, and other EMI emitting devices. This is similar to the locating of optical telescopes to avoid light pollution, with the difference being that radio observatories are often placed in valleys to further shield them from EMI as opposed to clear air mountain tops for optical observatories.

Examples of radio telescope in a Sentence

1. Kiyoshi Masui:

   The thing about FRBs is that they are really hard to catch, you have to have your radio telescope pointed at just the right place at just the right time and you can't predict where or when that will be.

2. Tara Murphy:

   We then tried the more sensitive MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa. Because the signal was intermittent, we observed it for 15 minutes every few weeks, hoping that we would see it again, luckily, the signal returned, but we found that the behaviour of the source was dramatically different -- the source disappeared in a single day, even though it had lasted for weeks in our previous ASKAP observations.

3. Saptarshi Bandyopadhyay:

   The development of Lunar Crater Radio Telescope could produce some significant breakthroughs along the way, particularly for deployment technologies and the use of robots to build gigantic structures off Earth, i'm proud to be working with this diverse team of experts who inspire the world to think of big ideas that can make groundbreaking discoveries about the universe we live in.
