Innovation in Australia:Written in the Stars Preparations are underway in Australia to construct a revolutionary radio telescope. When complete, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will gaze further into the universe than ever before, answering questions about the origin of the first stars and probing for evidence of life on other planets. The Square Kilometre Array – one of the biggest scientific projects in history – will allow astronomers to look back to the beginning of the universe, through 10 billion years, to see how galaxies and stars were formed, test if black holes behave as Einstein's theory of relatively and gravity asserts, and even uncover alien life. Australia has played a key role in the evolution of the SKA, working across the gamut, from design of the infrastructure through to intricate digital signal processing. As Australia continues to be a global leader across several key knowledge sectors, this is another story of how innovation in Australia is seeking to better the world.
