Quantum Surveys are privileged and excited to be working on the world’s largest radio telescope with SKA Observatory – SKAO !!!
The first image captured by the unfinished SKA-Low radio telescope on Wajarri Yamaji country in WA’s Murchison region, has revealed a rare galaxy with a supermassive black hole at its heart, proving the multi-billion-dollar observatory was already functioning “considerably better” than expected!
The image was produced using just 1024 antennas of what will eventually be the full telescope’s array of 131,000 metal Christmas tree-like devices, designed to detect radio waves emitted by objects billions of light-years away.
