Canada participates in manufacturing the largest radio telescope

Engineers and astrophysicists from Calgary University of Canada will participate in the world's largest radio telescope project, which is 100 times larger and capable of observing 10,000 times the glass. The planet's largest telescope today.

The team said the telescope consists of thousands of giant satellite antennas, spread over an area of ​​3,000 km in diameter, that can receive radio waves from the most remote places in the universe.

Scientists participating in the project stated that the telescope will help people find solutions to unknowns as if the earth is the only place where life in the universe and the universe is formed like that. Come on.

The structure of this radio telescope is quite similar to the optical reflecting telescope. Instead of glass objects such as optical telescopes, radio telescopes have the main part of an antenna shaped like a metal parabola mirror. This mirror is responsible for capturing electrical signals from the observed star and transferring those signals to the analytical parts.

It is expected that 20 countries will participate in the project and manufacturing will begin in 2012. South Africa and Australia are the two locations expected to set up this telescope. The information collected will be shared with participating countries and organizations.
