Evening view of Parkes radio telescope, Australia
Parkes radio telescope. Evening view of Parkes radio telescope in New South Wales, Australia. The dish is 64 metres (210 feet) in diameter and divided into three sections. It has a solid steel plate from its centre to a diameter of 17 metres, a perforated aluminium plate to a diameter of 42 metres, and the rest is a mesh of galvanised steel. The weight of the dish is 300 tonnes. This radio dish is used to observe wavelengths from 5 millimetres to 2 centimetres. Radio astronomy has improved our understanding of the evolution of stars and galaxies. Parkes was completed in 1961, and in 1998 is run as part of the Australia Telescope National Facility

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the evening view of the iconic Parkes radio telescope in New South Wales, Australia. With a diameter of 64 meters (210 feet), this impressive dish is divided into three sections. The central part consists of a solid steel plate spanning 17 meters in diameter, followed by a perforated aluminum plate extending to 42 meters. The remaining section is composed of galvanized steel mesh, resulting in a total weight of an astounding 300 tonnes. The Parkes radio telescope plays a crucial role in observing wavelengths ranging from 5 millimeters to 2 centimeters, contributing significantly to our understanding of the evolution of stars and galaxies through its application in radio astronomy. Completed in 1961 and currently operated as part of the Australia Telescope National Facility since 1998, this magnificent structure stands as an emblematic symbol within the field. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded not only of humanity's quest for knowledge but also our ability to unlock the mysteries hidden within our vast universe. The Parkes radio telescope serves as both an observatory and beacon for astrophysics enthusiasts worldwide who seek to unravel the secrets that lie beyond our planet's boundaries.
