A radio telescope or radio observatory
Our answer book holds 54 answers to “A radio telescope or radio observatory”, from the first thing anyone would say to names almost nobody would think of. Most people go straight for Arecibo, FAST or Very Large Array, so those barely lift the rocket. It is a fairly short list: only 10 answers sit in the two rarest tiers, so reaching one takes real knowledge.
Space questions reward anyone who remembers the names behind the famous missions, not just the missions themselves. You will find it in stage 23, “Lens & Dish”, of the Cosmos mission. The first stages of every mission are free, and later stages come with the full mission.
