Astronomers want to revive idea for ‘Ultimately Large Telescope’ on the Moon
... to carry out deep infrared surveys to study the distant Universe, the UHT would be able to observe Population III stars, the first stars which formed about 13 billion years ago. These distinct type of stellar object are born out...
