Observing the Moon with a homemade 1 metre radio telescope

Did you know that you can detect radio waves from the Moon with a satellite TV dish? The Moon is a source of thermal radio waves- it emits some broadband radio noise simply from the heat it receives from the Sun. And because the Moon is relatively close (at cosmic scales atleast) its thermal radiation is easily picked up even with a small radio telescope, especially at shorter (centimetre) wavelengths. In this video I show an observation of the Moon with a small radio telescope made from a regular 1 metre satellite TV dish. Because the resolution of such a small dish is about 1.8 degrees while the Moon is only 0.5 degrees across it won’t make any pretty pictures, but it’s still a fun experiment. For more details about this dish see my previous video:    • Small 1-metre radio telescope setup and demo   Software used for this project: Total_power 8.2.0 by Mario Natali I0NAA https://i0naa.altervista.org/index.ph...
