We now also received national funding for our new radio telescope in #Namibia from #NWO. Together with #European #ERC we have the full budget to build a fantastic telescope to make color movies of black holes and detect cosmic explosions (transients). We work in partnership with European and African partners on the science, but also support a wonderful mobile planetarium program run by local volunteers. #Astrodon #Astronomy #Africa #radioastronomy
