Talk:James Clerk Maxwell Telescope

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is it correct to call it a radio telescope? I presume it qualifies as it does not directly form an optical image but perhaps someone more knowledgable could comment? Billlion 19:17, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I wouldn't call it a radio-telescope, but some would. The submillimetre technology is more kin to the radio than the optical and it uses an antenna that looks how people think a radio telescope should look. I've edited the preamble to be a little more specific. --Jason Kirk 21:40, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
