Description

The SKA Observatory (SKAO) is building the two largest radio telescopes in the world, in an international effort to revolutionise our view of the radio sky. Now under construction in South Africa and Australia, the telescopes will respectively cover the low and mid to high radio frequencies. The past few years have seen great progress, and science verification data is anticipated to be available in 2026-27. In this presentation I will share the latest news from the SKAO, highlighting some of the astrophysical questions the SKAO telescopes will help us to answer.
