  2. It’s great news that South Africa is getting the SKA. At least we can do
    something for science. I can’t wait to go and see it for myself.

  3. Looking for a new channel? The SKA might help. đŸ™‚

    The Square Kilometer Array radio telescope will be sensitive enough to to
    pick up the equivalent of an airport radar on a planet 50 light years away
    – or television signals from distant worlds.

    Employing the processing power of a billion PCs, the SKA will help answer
    fundamental questions about how galaxies evolved, how gravity behaves near
    black holes, and how elements heavier than helium first came into being. It
    will be able to detect organic molecules, giving us new insights into
    possible Earth-like worlds. 67 organizations from 20 countries are working
    together on the effort. Final site selection will be announced next month
    (South Africa has been recommended). Construction is scheduled to start in
    2016 with operation beginning 2020. http://www.skatelescope.org

  4. A global collaboration of 19 countries, the SKA will be the largest and
    most sensitive radio telescope ever built. The SKA will revolutionize
    humankind’s understanding of the cosmos by answering questions about the
    origin and evolution of the universe, as well as other mysteries of time
    and space. It will consist of thousands of receptors stretched across an
    area the size of a continent—the total collecting area of these receptors
    combined will be approximately one square kilometer. IBM is working to map
    and model the complex ecosystem of capabilities that will be required to
    build the SKA.

  9. @vladislavsadykov It’s a telescope array. It isn’t/can’t be lethal. No
    matter how you look at it. It’s stupid to think it is. To top it off, 20
    countries are involved. Including the US, the UK, China, India, Italy,
    France, and more. There is no way this could be used as a weapon.

  19. You goofy… they are listening for Jesus coming back to whoop up on them.
    They are Satanist. You know jews/Zionist that print your money and rule
    this prison planet and TELL you there is life out there.

  22. its gonna pick up a lot more than radio waves. in fact, its going to make
    some rather profound discoveries of the extraterrestrial technology kind.
    we wont know how to decipher these signals, at least not for a while, but
    these arrays will find billions of them. finally someone is investing or at
    least planning this. unfortunately this sort of thing has almost always
    been privately funded. why wont governments get behind it? oh, too busy
    building weapons of self destruction.
