ASKAP (Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder)

ASKAP (Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder) is a cutting-edge radio telescope in Australia designed to study the universe. It uses 36 large dish antennas spread over a wide area to capture radio waves emitted by cosmic objects like galaxies, stars, and black holes. ASKAP’s advanced technology enables it to scan large portions of the sky quickly and with great detail, helping scientists explore phenomena such as galaxy formation, cosmic evolution, and signals from distant celestial sources. Its innovative design allows for faster, more efficient observations, contributing significantly to our understanding of the universe.
