The sun is cited as a significant source of noise that can be shielded by the lunar body.
- jessriedel 6y agoYes, thanks! That's mentioned in my edit (although it should just be "solar wind" rather than "solar storm") and the twitter thread I link. Note that that's only a particular (though valuable) frequency range, and that it's still unclear to me whether it's cheaper to go down to the lunar surface rather than just build a 10 times larger telescope at L2.
