1000 hours with the Square Kilometer Array may be our best hope to finally see Cosmic Dawn

Scientists have created a computer simulation that mimics what the Square Kilometer Array Low-frequency (SKA-Low) telescope will see when it searches for signals from the universe’s earliest epochs. This simulation represents a major step forward in preparing for one of astronomy’s most ambitious goals: directly observing the Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionization. The research is published on the arXiv preprint server.
