reference to the trans-
mission of these radio
waves. (Allah knows
the truth.)
Sounds are emit-
ted in the form of sound
waves by way of an an-
tenna. This is in order
that the receiver can
take in the data which
has been sent via an an-
tenna linked to the re-

ceiver. The purpose be-
hind using antennae is
the transmission into space of the waves emitted by the radio transmitter.
The receiving antenna is intended to collect as many radio waves and
messages as possible. This is why NASA uses giant antennae dishes 70
meters across for its satellites millions of kilometers away in space.
There are also radio telescopes which can use radio waves to form
images. Since radio waves are
very long, a radio telescope
has to be much larger in order
to collect them as clear im-
ages. In order to obtain sharp-
er and better images, as-
tronomers use a connected se-
ries of smaller telescopes or
receptors. These telescopes act
collectively as one very large
device – almost like a team,
This NASA photograph shows the Apollo
