After three decades of planning, the SKAO (Square Kilometre Array Observatory, the organisation which runs the telescopes) started initial construction activities around the world in July 2021. On December 5th, the next phase begins with a critical milestone in the history of the observatory, namely that start of on-site construction at two of the most radio-quiet places on Earth: outback Western Australia and South Africa’s Karoo. White Spark Pictures has negotiated unprecedented access to film this incredible feat of engineering, due to be completed at the end of the decade, as well as to capture international collaboration at play at the SKAO’s UK headquarters and the work of astronomers on the ground in both locations who will ultimately harness its power to solve the mysteries of the Universe.
