Astronomers view the entire electromagnetic spectrum – called “Multi-Frequency Astronomy” – through optical telescopes, radio telescopes, microwaves, gamma-rays, and X-rays.An exciting career awaits you in the Bachelor of Astronomy and Astrophysics offered at University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg in South Africa, which was awarded the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project.This comprises a core of radio telescopes in the Karoo, and is one of many projects supported by our own South African Large Telescope (SALT), an optical telescope sited at Sutherland.
