- The Square Kilometre Array Belongs In Africa
Africa is bidding to host the world's most powerful radio telescope, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). When constructed, in 2025, it will have 50 times greater sensitivity than any other radio telescope on Earth. The SKA will probe the edges of our...
- M82's Hidden Supernova
A supernova has recently exploded in the nearby galaxy M82, but you won?t be able to see it with any ordinary telescope. Shrouded in obscuring gas and dust, only the radio emission of the stellar explosion is able to penetrate through to the outside...
