Square Kilometre Array

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is a massive radio telescope project designed to study the universe's most distant and faint objects, like galaxies and pulsars. Located in Australia and South Africa, it consists of thousands of antennas spread over a large area, effectively creating a single telescope with an collecting area of one square kilometer. This innovative design allows astronomers to capture detailed images of the cosmos and learn more about fundamental questions in physics, such as the nature of dark matter and gravitational waves, ultimately enhancing our understanding of the universe and its origins.
