The passing gravitational waves “stretch or contract the universe by around 20 meters [about 65 feet] or so,” says Matthew ...

Using the MeerKAT telescope, astronomers have discovered a new odd radio circle that appears to be associated with an elliptical galaxy known as WISEA J021912.43–050501.8. The finding ...

Using the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa, an international team of astronomers has detected 26 new Galactic radio transients. Most of them turned out to be rotating radio transients (RRATs).

Giant radio galaxies are cosmic megastructures that can span millions of light-years, making them some of the largest-known structures in the Universe.

South Africa's MeerKAT telescope makes groundbreaking discovery of giant radio galaxy, shedding new light on the universe.

The MeerKAT telescope is located in the Karoo region of South Africa, consists of 64 radio dishes, and is operated by the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory.

"With the recent advent of powerful and sensitive radio telescopes—such as MeerKAT in South Africa, the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) in Europe and the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT ...

A computer-based study is simulating the behaviour of massive cosmic jets in a virtual universe to help us understand how ...

The University of Cape Town (UCT) researchers and South Africa’s MeerKAT radio telescope have made a “monumental discovery” of a rare giant radio galaxy. The galaxy has been named Inkathazo ...

They were considered rare. However, a new generation of radio telescopes, including South Africa’s MeerKAT, have turned this idea on its head: in the past five years about 11,000 giants have ...
