Africa is becoming the focus for the world of astronomy. Construction is underway of the mid-frequency dishes of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) – the next generation global radio astronomy facility that will be built initially in South Africa, and then rolled out across eight African partner countries, including Kenya. South Africa also hosts the South African Large Telescope (SALT), which with its 10 m diameter mirror is one of the largest optical telescopes in the world.
