NASA is funding an early-stage proposal to build a meshed telescope inside a crater on the far side of the moon, according to Vice.
This "dark side" is the face of the moon that is permanently positioned away from Earth, and as such it offers a rare view of the dark cosmos, unhindered by radio interference from humans and our by our planet’s thick atmosphere.
The ultra-long-wavelength radio telescope, would be called the "Lunar Crater Radio Telescope" and would have "tremendous" advantages compared to telescopes on our planet, the idea’s founder Saptarshi Bandyopadhyay, a robotics technologist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory wrote in a proposal.
The telescope — designed as a wire mesh — would be deployed into a 2- to 3-mile-wide (3 to 5 kilometers) crater on the moon’s far side. The 0.62-mile-diameter (1 km) wire-mesh telescope would be stretched across the crater by NASA’s DuAxel Rovers, or wall-climbing robots, according to the proposal summary.
If built, the "Lunar Crater Radio Telescope" would be the largest filled-aperture radio telescope in the solar system, Bandyopadhyay wrote. A filled-aperture radio telescope is a telescope that uses a single dish to collect data rather than many dishes, according to Vice.
Because this telescope would be on the far side of the moon, it would avoid radio interference from Earth, satellites and even the sun’s radio-noise during the lunar night. It would also let us gaze out into the cosmos without the veil of Earth’s atmosphere.
The atmosphere reflects low-frequency wavelengths of light greater than 32.8 feet (10 meters), essentially blocking them from reaching ground-based telescopes. The telescope "could enable tremendous scientific discoveries in the field of cosmology by observing the early universe in the 10– 50m wavelength band…which has not been explored by humans till-date," Bandyopadhyay wrote.
Video & Audio: S.Africa: Court sentenced Chickens to Death for Witchcraft!
The South African courts, especially the lower courts are becoming very unstable in the way they work, and even, as my attorney says, ludicrous. He mentions just one court case, where a South African Court found chickens guilty of the Crime of Witchcraft. The chickens were sentenced to death and all were executed!!
Black lies from 2006: Zimbabwe: Only 200 White Farmers paid of 4,000 Rest paid in 2010? Oh Yeah?
I posted this in 2006. The Blacks had stolen 4,000 farms out of the 5,000 that were there. They lied about paying the White Farmers. You can read my skepticism and the news from 2006.

What you say is true in europe as well when you consider that all the right-wing anti-immigration parties like the BNP (and its various continental Europe equivalents) get most of their support in areas where there is a large immigrant minority.
