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.
