Did you know that South Africa is building the worlds largest radio telescope? The story began in 2012, when South Africa won the bid to host the largest part of the international Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope project. The project is said to consist of more than 2,500 telescopes spread out across the nation and partner countries in Africa. This project is also offering grants to masters and PhD students to conduct research on astrophysics and other related fields with the purpose of improving skills in scientific research.
