The latest move combines the new optical telescope MeerLITCH—Dutch for 'more light'—with the recently-completed 64-dish MeerKAT radio telescope, located 200 kilometres (125 miles) away.
"We are listening and looking at the sky at the same time—that is a completely novel concept in astronomy worldwide," Paul Groot, from Radboud university in the Netherlands, told AFP.
