The FAST telescope / by Gitlin, Marty,author.(CARDINAL)485260;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Big hope for a telescope -- Birth of a marvel -- Bigger and stronger -- The amazing attraction -- An incredible feat -- What you should know -- Quick stats -- Timeline."The most powerful telescope in the world was built in a remote area of China. It has already received signals from many light years away. The FAST Telescope is a marvel of engineering. It is no wonder that millions of people have flocked to the area to feast their eyes upon it and learn all about it. The Chinese telescope will use the Next Generation Archive System to help store and maintain its findings. It will also be aided by the European Southern Observatory. The goal of both FAST and SKA is to help solve mysteries."--Grades 4 to 6.860L

Meet NASA inventor Saptarshi Bandyopadhyay and his team's giant lunar telescope /
""Radio telescopes can help astronomers learn the secrets of the universe's birth. But, such telescopes must be huge, and radio signals from Earth and the sun interfere with their readings. Learn how engineer Saptarshi Bandyopadhyay plans to solve these problems and more by building a huge radio telescope in a crater on the moon."--Ages 9-111010L
