Currently, the radio telescope at Aricebo in Puerto Rica at 305 m diameter is the largest.

In hand are plans for a SKA telescope (see skatelescope.org) in the Southern Hemisphere. This enables our Milky Way galaxy to be studied. The total area of the many dishes will be 1 sq km, hence the name. The resolution of a radio telescope is determined by the length of the baseline, and in this case, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand are collaborators for the ground stations. There are intended to be several different types of aerials to cover a few hundred megahertz, out to a few thousand megahertz. Construction is expected to start in the near future.

How radio telescopes differ from optical telescopes.?

Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.


Are optical telescopes much bigger then radio telescopes?

No they are not bigger then radio telescopes at all.


How do radio telescopes gathering data?

Radio telescopes gather data from radio sources and they target the radio frequency part of the electromagnetic spectrum.


Is the design of radio telescopes very similar to the design of refracting telescopes?

No, radio telescopes and refracting telescopes have different designs and functions. Radio telescopes are designed to detect radio waves from space, whereas refracting telescopes use lenses to bend light to create images of distant objects. While both types of telescopes have a common goal of observing the universe, their designs are optimized for different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.


What are radio waves detected by?

Radio Telescopes and radio wires


How do optical telescopes and radio telescopes gather info about stars?

How do radio telescope operate?

As far as I know, there is no "optical radio telescope". There are, separately, optical telescopes (which work with visible light), and radio telescopes (which work with radio waves).


What kind of telescopes do radio telescopes use?

Radio telescopes use parabolic dishes to collect and focus radio waves from space. The dish reflects the radio waves to a receiver, which then converts the waves into electronic signals that can be processed and analyzed.


What are types of telescopes?

Light telescopes which are refractor and reflector and radio ones.
