MEERKAT: A GIANT AFRICAN EYE AND EAR ON THE UNIVERSE 6 Oct
Public talk on MeerKAT Prof Roger Deane
About this event
What can we discover about the universe by listening to the sky? Join Prof Roger Deane for a spectacular journey from the Karoo to the farthest reaches of the cosmos, exploring the incredible discoveries made by MeerKAT, South Africa’s giant radio telescope. From the heart of our own Milky Way to the faint ripples of gravitational waves travelling across the universe, discover how these 64 dishes are helping us see the cosmos in a completely new way — and inspiring a new generation of African scientists to explore it.
