- A powerful new telescope in outback Australia
- dubbed the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder
- was able to map about three million galaxies in just 300 hours. Comparable surveys of the sky have taken as long as 10 years.
- Just think of it as the heart transplant technology of modern astronomy!
- Gosh you're stupid!
- I don't speak Australian, sorry. In the United States "a telescope" is singular.
- I will grant however that an "array" is a plural of something or other even in the USA
- Maybe that has something to do with the comparable surveys having 300,000 times better depth perception.
- Is that how you do it?
- No one seems to mention that except on this weird board.
