Maybe you can answer a question about this for me Joseph. I once asked
scientist involved in radio astronomy if the Sun interfered with radar
signals. His answer was no, which surprised me. If this is true, why
isn't radar used to search for Vulcanoids?
Could the uncoming Square Kilometer (or Kilometre) Array be used for
such a search?
