is very sensitive observations to look deep into the universe, to look at a wide frame of the universe at any one time, but also to have very fine details in order for us to be able to undertake our science. now, that s a telescope on a really big scale and you mentioned some of those points there, but what are you hoping to see from this and what are you hoping to learn exactly from this telescope? the science undertaken by the observatory is very, very broad. here in australia, the low telescope will have a couple of very large science goals. the first is to look for the cosmic dawn. this is a period 200 million years after the big bang, so that s 13.6 billion years in our past, when the universe was dark and filled with neutral hydrogen gas from the big bang. the very first stars and galaxies turn on in this period, illuminating the cosmos for the first time and completely transforming the whole universe to look like the one we have today.
megahertz to 15 gigahertz and across those two telescopes we are able to look at the full evolution of the universe from infancy until the present day 50 to 350 infancy until the present day 50 to 350 mergahertz. so in australia we are building a telescope that will span nearly 75 kilometres across the western australian outback. it will be nearly ten times in automatic telescope we have now. what it delivers for us is very sensitive observations to look deep into the universe, to look deep into the universe, to look at a wide frame of the universe at any one time but also to have very fine details in orderfor us to be also to have very fine details in order for us to be able to undertake our science. that s a telescope undertake our science. that s a telescope on undertake our science. that s a telescope on a undertake our science. that s a telescope on a really undertake our science. that s a telescope on a really big - undertake our science. that s a telescope on a really
