World's largest radio telescope
The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder, ASKAP, recently announced that it had succeeded in mapping over three million galaxies and no less than 83% of the visible universe in just 300 hours, which is far faster than ever before.
But ASKAP is only a test for the even larger SKA radio telescope, which will be completed sometime in 2027.

Knudsen, who is a science communicator at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Aarhus University and is an expert on the subject.
