A radio telescope stares into deep space in this artist's concept of an observatory based on the far side of the Moon. On that hemisphere, the bulk of the Moon would block out radio interference from Earth, providing a pristine view of the heavens. Scientists are pondering more modest set-ups for possible use in the coming decades. [NASA/Mark Dowman and Doug McLeod]
