Australia Telescope Compact Array
Australia Telescope Compact Array, Radio interferometer at Paul Wild Observatory, Australia
The Australia Telescope Compact Array includes six 22-meter diameter dishes positioned along a three-kilometer railway track for astronomical observations.
The radio telescope facility began its scientific operations in September 1988, marking a new era in Australian astronomical research capabilities.
The telescope facility serves as an educational center where students and researchers gather to learn about radio astronomy and electromagnetic observations.
Five movable antennas operate together with a fixed sixth antenna located three kilometers west to produce detailed radio images of space.
The facility obtained the first image of a radio supernova remnant during formation and created detailed maps of hydrogen in the Magellanic Clouds.
