Stargazing Create homemade reflector telescope by own

AI Thread Summary
Homemade reflecting telescopes can be built using various resources available online, with many dedicated websites offering guidance. A recommended site for constructing a Dobsonian telescope is Stellafane. While assembling the telescope is relatively straightforward, grinding your own optics presents a significant challenge. The complexity of the project largely depends on the specific type of telescope being constructed. For successful telescope building, thorough research and careful planning are essential.

Merely assembling a scope is the easy part, grinding you own optics is quite a challenge. The answer depends on which option you are interested in.
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
