Day 4 Coolest Telescopes in the World

Today I chose to drive a little north of Cape Town to visit one of the coolest engineering projects in all of Africa.  It was called the MeerKat  engineering offices.  Here they have built a ton of huge satellite dishes to examine space from a whole new perspective.  There are 64 dishes spread out and these dishes take high definition pictures of satellites and other things out in space. Their website provides much more detailed facts about their engineering offices.http://www.ska.ac.za/index.php It was awesome visiting this place especially if your interested in any kind of engineering field.
