Sharing this for no particular reason: The place where the South African part of the Square Kilometer Array is going to be built is dramatic and beautiful. I took this photo about 20km from MeerKAT, which will be a part of the core cluster, roughly in the middle of a triangle formed by the towns of Williston, Carnarvon and Vanwyksvlei.

Here is MeerKAT itself. Unfortunately the telescope was working, so I was not allowed to turn my camera on any nearer than this, for fear of electrical noise from the autofocus motors blowing the sensitive receivers!
