Telescope to be shared

摘要

My telescope is bigger than yours. South Africa has stressed that it will host the bulk of the infrastructure for the world's largest radio telescope, after last week's decision to share the project between a South African site and one in Western Australia. The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will investigate the early history of the universe. There were two proposed sites for the array, but the SKA Organisation has decided that both should be used. South Africa will host high-frequency dishes for detailed investigations, while the Western Australian site, run jointly by Australia and New Zealand, will host low-frequency antennas for whole-sky surveys.
