$1.25M given for U of C telescope

The University of Calgary took one step closer yesterday to building the world’s largest telescope when it received $1.25 million for the endeavour from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

The telescope will be used to study naturally occurring radio emissions from the edge of the universe in a distant time before stars and galaxies were formed.
