A recent image from the South African MeerKAT Telescope blew our minds. It was a high resolution image of the center of the Milky Way showing delicate filaments and other structures. Today we’re gonna talk about why this was such an accomplishment and what the future holds for radio astronomy.
Prof Woudt joins us to talk about an exciting project he is involved in using the MeerKAT radio telescope, namely ThunderKAT (The HUNt for Dynamic and Explosive Radio transients with meerKAT). ThunderKAT is looking for explosive things that flash in the radio sky!
Time for weekly update as @WSHCrew discuss about the fight to save Arecibo, Chang’e-5 departure to the Moon, and a fossil galaxy in the Milky Way. And we also have discussion with Dr. Oliver Witasse. #365DaysOfAstro
