An array of 350 radio telescopes in the Karoo desert of South Africa is getting closer to detecting the “cosmic dawn” — the era after the #BigBang when stars first ignited and galaxies began to bloom. mcgill.ca/newsroom/chann…

An array of 350 radio telescopes - known as HERA - in the Karoo desert of South Africa is getting closer to detecting the “cosmic dawn”. "HERA’s results represent the most precise pursuit to date,” says Adrian Liu of McGill Physics & Trottier Space Institute at McGill. buff.ly/3o9poZ7

We’re proud to welcome Dr. Amy Steele as our new Director of Astronomy and Research! Her innovative ideas and commitment to accessibility and inclusion will propel us to new heights in scientific research. With her extensive experience using telescopes all over the world and in
