AI Summary
Scientists note that increasing human-made radio noise and ionospheric blockage make detecting low‑frequency extraterrestrial signals, such as the 1977 “Wow!” burst, increasingly difficult from Earth. To overcome these limitations, researchers are racing to construct a radio telescope on the Moon, where the far side offers a quieter environment free from terrestrial interference and ionospheric effects.
