Construction to begin on world's biggest telescope

South Africa and Australia will share the building of the largest radio telescope. The article states the that telescope will be able to "perform the most precise tests of Einstein's theories, and even search for extra-terrestrials" (Amos). This telescope has taken 30 years to develop, and will hopefully be completed by 2028. Several countries have already signed a treat to help fund the building and research, South Africa, Australia, the UK, China, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal and Switzerland, but experts are hoping that other countries will join as well.
