Square Kilometer Array

SKA-Mid, like its counterpart SKA-Low in Australia, is an array where many individual antennas are connected by optical fibre to act like one much larger telescope, equivalent in size to the distance between its furthest antennas. "Fringes" are obtained when signals received by two or more antennas are combined successfully.

The first image from the international Square Kilometre Array Observatory's telescope in Australia, SKA-Low, has been released marking a significant milestone in its quest to reveal an unparalleled view of our Universe.
