Alien news: UK to become hub of international extraterrestrial hunting effort Article Link: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.express.co.uk/news/science/1099675/alien-news-ska-telescope-project-aliens-discovery-universe-news/am THE UK has joined the hunt for aliens after signing up to be part of a global initiative which will also see the headquarters based in Manchester. The UK joined six other countries to sign up to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope at a ceremony in Italy, joining the likes of Australia, China, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal and South Africa. The ambitious international project will scan the cosmos through thousands of individual satellite dishes and up to a million low-frequency antennas. SKA is the “largest science facility on the planet”, with antennas and telescopes across three continents with the headquarters based in the UK. Researchers will use the telescope to scan the universe to “study gravitational waves and test Einstein’s theory of relativity in extreme environments, investigate the nature of the mysterious fast radio bursts, improve our understanding of the evolution of the Universe over billions of years, map hundreds of millions of galaxies and look for signs of life in the Universe,” according to a statement. This will mean two of the world’s most powerful supercomputers will be needed to comb through the data. Overall, the cost of creating all the global telescopes and satellites will cost upwards of €700million with construction to begin after 2020. Business Secretary Greg Clark said: “Science has no borders and the UK’s hosting of the global HQ of this international project demonstrates our leading position and influence in leading scientific collaboration and exploration.
