Designer showed a concept car for exploring the universe

While the James Webb Space Telescope Five galaxies, "dust mountains" and a gas cloud near a dying star - NASA has published more amazing photos from the James Webb telescope and planning to revolutionize astrophysics, designer Hensick Moon has shown a concept vehicle to explore our universe.

What we know

The unique car is called the Zodiac Stargazer . Despite the fact that outwardly it remotely resembles a car, in fact it is more like a large telescope on wheels. The device was developed by the designer as part of his master's work at the University of Pforzheim, Germany.

According to Hensik Moon's idea, Zodiac Stargazer will allow astronomers to observe the stars through a huge integrated telescope. It is many times larger than any equipment that could fit in the trunk of a regular car.

The telescope also acts as a door, as it is used to enter the cabin. The author of the project believes that Zodiac Stargazer will be in autonomous mode to get to the right place, after which the telescope will rise and open a view of the night sky.

To bring the concept to life, many problems need to be solved. In particular, to create a clever lens for the telescope, which will be able to focus on the star sky.
