Description
Description | The China-Argentina Radio Telescope (CART) is a cutting-edge radio telescope built through a long-term partnership between China and Argentina. It is the largest single dish telescope in Latin America, designed to study electromagnetic radiation emitted by celestial bodies, including stellar formations, pulsars, and the galactic center. The telescope is located at the Felix Aguilar Observatory in Argentina at an altitude of 2,400 metres, offering exceptional atmospheric stability and low electromagnetic interference. The project was originally set to be completed by March 2026 but has faced delays due to political friction and customs issues. |
