A giant Soviet telescope looks like a remnant of an older and more advanced civilization.

Its history matches this impression. The Kalyazin RT-64 radio telescope was developed to support communications with robotic missions to Venus and Mars and to prepare for possible manned expeditions to these planets.

The telescope is located near the city of Kalyazin, and still in operation today. Its scientific tasks include deep space communications and astrophysical research.
