Unfortunately for Desmond Dekker fans, this SKA telescope has nothing to do with the Jamaican music sensation. No, the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) radio telescope has so much more otherworldly concerns, and in accordance with the director of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), Peter Quinn, it is going to have the net beat when it comes to data when it goes online in 2020. The telescope, that may grow to be in either Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa, is geared toward seeking Earth-like planets, extraterrestrial life, dark matter, and black holes, and may require a central supercomputer with “the processing power of 1 billion PCs.” What’s more, this is expected to be 10,000 times more powerful than any telescope in existence and “generate the same quantity of knowledge in an afternoon because the entire planet does in a year. ” We are saying anything that gets us in the direction of having our own hairy, Hawaiian-shirt sporting alien available is definitely well worth the $2.1 billion it would cost to create.
