A radio telescope in South Africa have discovered hundreds of galaxies in a small corner of the universe that were previously thought only humans have 70 galaxies reviews Meerkat telescope's radio telescope in the southern hemisphere strongest.
Meerkat expected to be fully operational later this year. Currently, the new disc has 16/64 reception Meerkat telescope scans the sky. Operation Meerkat both scientific goals, just under Project giant telescope (SKA) is expected to be built in Australia and South Africa, including dozens of disk receivers.
"Based on the results shown today, we are confident that after all the disk 64 is operated, telescopic Meerkat will be leading before birth SKA", interesting science facts Prof Justin Jonas, technical director of SKA South Africa, said in the report.

SKA is capable of detecting more than 10,000 times more than the modern tools and the most advanced will discover black holes, new energy sources, and may be the origin of the universe.
More than 20 countries are members of the SKA, with Australia and South Africa as the location for the main project. The project is based in the UK. These images show Meerkat captured over 1,300 galaxies in the distant universe, some interesting facts where only about 70 galaxies were discovered before.
Among them, there is a galaxy from Earth about 200 million light years, where stars are formed from hydrogen gas in large quantities, and a huge black hole ejected electron rays strong, has pace nearly the speed of light.
"The stunning images today demonstrate that Meerkat league has entered into major radio astronomy world," said Fernando Camilo, chief scientist of the project, said the South African SKA.
