Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder

The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) is a cutting-edge radio telescope located in Western Australia. It consists of 36 advanced antennas working together to observe the universe in radio waves. ASKAP can scan large areas of sky quickly and with high sensitivity, helping scientists study phenomena like galaxies, black holes, and cosmic evolution. Its innovative design allows for rapid data collection and analysis, making it a valuable tool for advancing our understanding of the universe. ASKAP also serves as a precursor to the larger Square Kilometre Array, helping develop new technologies for future astronomical discoveries.
