Square Kilometre Array Telescope
The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) Council has approved the setting up of the world’s largest radio telescope.
Key Points:
• Radio telescopes can be used to track invisible gas and have the ability to detect regions of space that would have been obscured with interstellar dust.
• In this respect, it is distinct from traditional optical telescopes.
• The Square Kilometer Array is the largest radio telescope in the world.
