"This marks the day that the SKAO as a scientific facility was born.” – @SKA_DG . These graphics from the SKAO’s low frequency telescope in Australia show the first correlated signal from two stations of 256 antennas each, showing that SKA-Low is working as an interferometer!

👇 A great explanation from @earthskyscience of what the “first fringes” mean for a radio telescope and why we are so excited about having reached this milestone recently using two SKA-Low stations! @CSIRO #SKAscience

A transformative observatory consisting of many, distant antennas (SKA) is being built in Australia and South Africa. The Australia site successfully connected 2 of its finished stations to observe together as an interferometer for the 1st time: 📸 SKAO.

While in Cape Town, I visited the Cosmic Echoes art exhibition @ArtscapeTheatre . It explores the intersection of modern science & ancient wisdom - a wonderful collaboration between @SKAO , @SKA_Africa , @CSIRO & the Wajarri Yamaji community. 🙏 @Vollenhoven2 for the guided tour!

Did you know: components for both SKA telescopes are being developed & manufactured all over the world! The #SKAconstruction contract for the first 77,000 SKA-Low antennas was awarded to Italy's SIRIO Antenne 🇮🇹. Read more about how they work: @mediainaf

🎥 We're happy to share the first images from one complete SKA-Low station! The video shows a 24-hour observation, and demonstrates the high sensitivity of a single station. Imagine what we'll see when all 512 SKA-Low stations are looking at the sky in the future! #SKAscience

It's wonderful to see this first image from an SKA-Low station. It's the culmination of an enormous amount of work by the @SKAO team, and is the first, small step on the way to the realisation of the Observatory.
