"Exploring the mysteries of the cosmos starts with a clear view—but did you know there’s a hidden spectrum we’ve barely tapped into? 🌌✨ The sub-10 MHz frequency band, blocked by Earth’s atmosphere, holds secrets of the early Universe and beyond. 🚀
We are working towards Africa's 1st mission to the Moon, the #Africa2Moon Project, also the world's 1st radio telescope on the the Moon to perform new science in the 1-10MHz range from the Lunar farside. Watch this space🌛🚀
