"Astronomers Advocate Radio Silence on Moon's Far Side"

Astronomers are advocating for the preservation of radio silence on the far side of the moon to facilitate scientific research, as it naturally shields radio waves. A symposium organized by the International Academy of Astronautics is addressing concerns about electromagnetic pollution and the need for a radio silence zone on the moon's far side. Efforts are underway to protect the moon's far side from radio frequency interference and establish international agreements to preserve it for scientific installations. Scientists are already conducting radio astronomy from the moon and are planning to deploy additional radio telescopes, emphasizing the importance of protecting the far side for groundbreaking scientific exploration.
