Is it possible that the cycle of star birth, death, black holes and all things in between is what's creating the universe? Black holes hoovering up everything and spewing it back out which creates star & solar formations.  It's odds as big as the universe, we have landed the odds of being human, right here, right now at this point of time in the universe. Next creation? Who knows when and where and as what. Could be billions of years.
Sounds deep, I know. Blame the story!

Abruraspingi initially mentioned SKA and how it would be nice to contribute to their research.
I hadnt heard of it and after googling to see what it was all about, I would have to agree. Very interesting stuff they are doing.
If SKA ever allow distributed computing with BOINC, I'm pretty sure BOINC@AUSTRALIA will be a strong presence in another Australian project.

Originally they were going to use theSkynet Project for part of the processing but the Aussie government gifted them a super computer and enough hard drive space to fill a sky scraper.

With saying that construction will continue on the telescopes until at least 2029 and there will be a lot of data collected. Who knows maybe a few teams will initiate a BOINC project based on publicly available data. Just like how Milky-way@home is based off of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.

I can only imagine what CPU's and GPU's will be able to crunch by that time. We'll also have boots on the surface of the moon again and construction will start on the lunar gateway. I'm really looking forward to some of the upcoming space missions

SKA has started construction. This is exciting news
