As per reports, it has been revealed that a giant radio telescope, which has been specially developed to closely take into account make-up of the universe, will be shared by scientists from Australia and South Africa. It has been reported that after administering the project on Friday, international consortium made this declaration.

It has been reported that this new development has been well assisted with as many as thousands of separate dishes.

It has been revealed that consortium led by South Africa included several other countries of Africa, Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia and Zambia. Thus, it has been termed that even in these countries, the telescopes will be established.

Further, it has been declared that dishes in South Africa will be erected at an isolated site in Karoo desert, where already a smaller radio telescope project is being established.
