Radio Telescopes on the Moon Could Let Us Observe Dozens of Black Hole Shadows
A new arXiv study proposes deploying radio dishes on the Moon to create an Earth‑Moon interferometer capable of sub‑microarcsecond resolution. By leveraging the lunar radius as a baseline, the array could resolve black‑hole shadows as small as one‑tenth of a microarcsecond, opening the door to imaging roughly 30 additional supermassive black holes beyond M87* and Sgr A*. The authors evaluate five potential lunar sites—far side, near side, and south pole—to maintain continuous coverage as the Moon orbits. While engineering and funding challenges keep deployment decades away, the concept promises a quantum leap in radio astronomy capability.
