The telescope will be built entirely by robots, with a steel mesh suspended in a natural crater. (Photo: NASA) LCRT will help scientists discover radio signals from the early universe that Earth cannot receive. (Photo: NASA)
Astronomers are concerned that private satellites like Starlink will hinder radio observations on Earth in the future.
