Welcome to a Cosmos Insights podcast, where we talk to scientists in Australia about the impact of their work.
After 31 years of planning, radio telescopes called the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) have finally begun construction. The Australian site in the Murchison region of WA – known as SKA-Low – will eventually comprise over 130,000 Christmas tree-like antennae.
Today Cosmos journalist Jacinta Bowler talks to Professor Cathryn Trott, astronomer and Chief Operations Scientist at SKA-Low about her work at SKA-Low and what the array will achieve.
