South African super-telescope reveals distant galaxies and black holes
First image from South African super radio telescope 'far better than expected'
Even operating at a quarter of its eventual capacity, South Africa's MeerKat radio telescope showed off its phenomenal power on Saturday, revealing 1,300 galaxies in a tiny corner of the universe where only 70 were known before. The image released on Saturday was the first from MeerKat where 16 dishes were formally commissioned the same day.
