Telescope

 The Murchison Widefield Array telescope officially opened this week in outback Western Australia. The radio telescope aims to detect solar storms and will offer unique glimpses into the early universe and stars more than 13 billion years old. The MWA is a precursor to the international Square Kilometre Array, which will be the largest radio telescope in the world.
