Telescope MeerCAT is in South Africa and only a quarter of its capacity, but he was able to see 1300 galaxies galaxies where the astrologers had been receiving only 70.
The construction of the telescope is continuing in the Northern Cape of South Africa since 2012, the Scientists it needed for research such phenomena as cosmic magnetism, dark matter, and the nature of transient radio sources.
This telescope is part of a large international SKA program. Antenna radio want to put not only South Africa but also Australia and New Zealand. Their total area must be 1 square kilometer, so SKA will become the largest telescope in the world. In 2016 all the antennae on the telescope were installed, but only work 16 out of 64.
Finish to configure the device, the researchers plan to 2017, although at the moment, with it was made an important discovery. Phys.orq reports that are made thanks to the telescope image, cover 1300 star systems.
