The publication notes that previous research has been conducted for years, and the Pathfinder telescope broke speed records and managed to find galaxies in two weeks using radio waves. Radio waves have the longest wavelength among all forms of light.
They allow you to study some of the most extreme environments in the universe, from cold gas clouds to supermassive black holes. Long waves easily pass through clouds, dust and the atmosphere, but they must be received by large antennas. The wide (but relatively low) expanses of Australia are an ideal place to install large radio telescopes. According to The Next Web, the first detailed radio map of the southern sky was created as a result of a study of the sky by the University of Sydney Molonglo.
The survey lasted for decades and covered 25% of the sky. The research organization CSIRO surveyed 83% of the sky in 10 days. As a result, she created a map based on 903 images. Anyone can view the panorama of the sky on the project website.
