This print captures the serene beauty of the night sky as it falls over the radio telescope dishes of the KAT-7 Array at the proposed South African site for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope. Taken on May 17,2012, by photographer Mike Hutchings, this long exposure image showcases a mesmerizing view of the remote Northern Cape province in South Africa. In this picture, one can witness a stunning display of stars scattered across the darkened horizon. The Milky Way stretches out like an ethereal ribbon, adding to the enchantment and tranquility of this scene. The radio telescope dishes stand tall against this celestial backdrop, their silhouette creating a striking contrast against the night sky. The SKA board's recent announcement that South Africa and Australia will share this location further enhances the significance of this photograph.

Hutchings' creative use of long exposure allows us to appreciate both Earth's natural wonders and humanity's technological advancements. This image invites viewers to contemplate our place in space and marvel at its vastness. With no people present in sight, we are reminded that nature reigns supreme here. The landscape exudes an aura of stillness and serenity while hinting at endless possibilities waiting to be discovered among these distant stars.
