short by Gaurav Shroff / on Saturday, 9 September, 2017
Canada's CHIME radio telescope, which aims to survey the largest volume of the observable universe has started operations. Made of four 100-metre-long U-shaped cylinders, the telescope will detect signals from when the universe was between 6-11 billion years old. The ₹102-crore facility would help search for gravitational waves and analyse if the universe-expanding dark energy truly exists.
