Construction of 133 new radio telescopes in Carnarvon, South Africa, has begun. They are part of a project called Square Kilometer Array, which seeks to observe the phenomena of outer space in greater detail and in greater breadth. The World’s Marco Werman talks to Dr Jakob van der Eijnden, a research fellow from the MeerKAT research group at Oxford University’s astrophysics department in Britain, who uses the radio telescopes for their work.
