Murchison Widefield Array

The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is a large radio telescope located in Western Australia. It consists of numerous antennas spread over a wide area, designed to observe the universe in radio waves, which can reveal information about cosmic phenomena like galaxies, stars, and even the faint signals from the early universe. Unlike traditional telescopes that focus on visible light, the MWA captures low-frequency radio signals, helping scientists study cosmic events, search for extraterrestrial life, and understand the origin of the universe more deeply. Its design allows for swift surveys of the sky and detailed imaging of celestial bodies.
