Image caption: The 64m Radio Telescope at Parkes Observatory (New South Wales, Australia) is fully operantional since 1963 and continuously upgraded since. Also called "The Dish", it is run by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). The telescope can be pointed at a part of the sky. The radio waves from this part of the sky are then reflected and focussed by the giant dish to a receiver at the focal point. The data from this receiver can then be analysed by astronomers.

Image caption: Il radiotelescopio di 64 metri dell'Osservatorio di Parkes (Nuovo Galles del Sud, Australia) è pienamente operativo dal 1963 e da allora è stato continuamente aggiornato. Chiamato anche "The Dish" - "La Parabola", è gestito dalla Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). Il telescopio può essere puntato su un'area del cielo. Le onde radio provenienti da questa parte del cielo vengono poi riflesse e focalizzate dalla parabola gigante verso un ricevitore situato nel punto focale. I dati provenienti da questo ricevitore possono quindi essere analizzati dagli astronomi.

Image caption: 位于澳大利亚新南威尔士的帕克斯天文台的64米射电望远镜自1963年起全面投入使用,并持续进行升级。该望远镜也被称为“大碟”,由联邦科学与工业研究组织进行管理。望远镜可以对准天空中的特定区域,来自该区域的射电电磁波会被巨大碟形天线反射并聚焦到焦点处的接收器上。随后,天文学家可以对接收器收集的数据进行分析。
