The world’s largest space telescope, comprising thousands of antennae in the southern hemisphere, will generate massive amounts of data — some of which will be processed in Canada.
The project spans two sites: approximately 131,000 Christmas-tree-shaped antennas in western Australia and 200 large dish antennas in the Karoo region of South Africa. As part of this international collaboration, Canada has established a data-processing centre at the University of Victoria.
Ah, the Square Kilometer Array:
I love big science projects like this.
