Close up with an SKA-Low antenna

Produced by Italian company SIRIO thanks to Italy’s National Institute of Astrophysics (INAF), this model SKA-Low antenna has found its new home in Western Australia’s Murchison Shire! The Shire is home to CSIRO’s Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory, future site of the SKA-Low telescope.

Delivered by CSIRO in December, just in time for Christmas, the antenna is now on display at the Shire offices for any visitors to see up close (pictured here with Murchison Shire CEO Bill Boehm).
