The Karoo is semi-arid and sparse. But that is the perfect spot to put a technological marvel that can transform our understanding of the cosmos. Near the small Northern Cape town of Carnarvon, the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory operates the famous MeerKAT radio telescope. Not only has this marvel unlocked cosmic mysteries, but it’s also fostered scientific collaboration and nurtured local scientific talent.

Now, when we say "supermassive," we're talking about something crazy dense, like a million suns crammed into one. Its pull is so hardcore that not even light can break free. The research provided valuable insights into the dynamic processes that shape the galactic environment. Plus, MeerKAT's been leading the charge on a bunch of galaxy surveys that are totally flipping our ideas about how the cosmos evolves.
