*Event Type*: [[PublicLectures][Lecture and Stargazing]]<br>
*Title*: FARSIDE: Exploring the Cosmos from the Moon<br>
*Lecturer*: Nivedita Mahesh<br>
*Position*: Postdoctoral Fellow<br>
*Institution*: Caltech<br>
*Abstract*: <br>
NASA’s planned return to the moon is promising for radio astronomers, too. In this talk, I will discuss two NASA mission concepts to place a low-frequency radio array on the far side of the moon. I will describe what unique astronomical science can be done with a radio telescope on the lunar farside.  Then, we will look at the details of two planned radio telescope concepts, how they will be constructed by robots and operated autonomously. Finally, I will give an update on a precursor radio telescope that will fly to the Moon by the end of this year.
