This array of radio telescopes, begun in 2009, is still under construction. When finished, the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (which reduces neatly to the acronym ASKAP) aims to solve some of the big questions of the universe - how galaxies form, the evolution and population of galaxies, and the magnetic forces which reside and effect the universe. Physically, it is 36 identical antennas, each 12 metres wide, that will act in unison to view the universe.
