CSIRO astronomer Dr. George Hobbs compared the cosmos to a choir with “stars and galaxies singing with different voices.”

According to Hobbs, CSIRO only had receivers for “just one part of the choir at a time,” while the new one makes it possible to “listen to the whole choir at once.”

The 1.8 million-U.S. dollar piece of equipment, which was partly funded by Germany's Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, not only creates opportunities for new discoveries, but also a level of "multitasking for science."
