New Telescope Reveals 1,300 Galaxies in Tiny Corner of the Universe
The image released Saturday was the first from MeerKAT, where 16 dishes were formally commissioned the same day.
Next year the MeerKAT’s will have its full contingent of 64 receptors integrated, making it destined to become the world’s most powerful radio telescope.
Scientists are raving at the clarity and quality of the images produced by MeerKAT, proclaiming the images to be “far better that we could have expected.”
The full throttle running of the telescope will not be achieved when its 64 dishes are in place next year. More dishes, hardware and software needs to be added, and its full capabilities will be achieved in the 2020s, comprising of 3,000 dishes spread over an area of a square kilometre (0.4 square miles) across remote terrain around several countries to allow astronomers to peer deeper into space in unparallelled detail.
It will have a discovery potential 10,000 times greater than the most advanced modern instruments and will explore exploding stars, black holes, dark energy and traces of the universe’s origins some 14 billion years ago.
A second device will be operating soon in Australia.
South African Minister of Science and Technology Naledi Pandor told AFP that “this the first time that an African group of countries will host global science infrastructure of this character.”
“It’s a first for us as Africa and also it’s a first for the world because the world hasn’t done this in Africa,” said the Minister. “We are building a global infrastructure for the world.”
Already some 500 scientific groups from 45 countries have booked slots to use the MeerKAT array between next year and 2022.
Combined with the efforts of the CERN particle accelerator in Switzerland, science is working to do the opposite of what it emerged regarding. Rather than study God’s universe, these scientists likely seek to disprove God. . . I have a feeling the opposite will happen, as it often does.
