After 30 years of research, construction on the Square Kilometer Array (SKA), the world’s largest radio-astronomy observatory that is hoped to offer a first ever view of the formation of the universe, began on Monday in South Africa and Australia.
Scheduled to be completed in 2028, the $2.1 billion international project will gather radio waves from an arrangement of 197 dishes in South Africa and more than 131,000 antennae in the Australian outback, and the entire venture will be managed from the SKA Observatory headquarters in Manchester, England.
It will create data collecting areas measuring hundreds of thousands of square meters, enabling astronomers to monitor the sky in unprecedented detail and faster than any system currently in existence, according to the SKA Observatory website.
The current members of the SKA Observatory include South Africa, Australia, China, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
