In a new paper, scientists have proposed a groundbreaking concept called the 'hypertelescope,' which could be built on the Moon's surface to make observations. This innovative idea suggests having a mirror array as the primary mirror, arranged along the terrain of a lunar crater, with the detector cluster suspended by a cable. While still in its early stages, this concept builds off the idea of an optical telescope and could pave the way for new astronomical discoveries.
