African super-telescope reveals 1,300 galaxies
While operating at a quarter of its eventual capacity, South Africa-based 'MeerKAT' radio telescope released its first captured image on Saturday, revealing 1,300 galaxies at a location where only 70 were known before. MeerKAT's full contingent of 64 receptors will be integrated next year into a multi-nation square kilometre array, which will make it the world’s most powerful radio telescope.
