Radio astronomy is a field that studies the universe through the analysis of radio waves emitted by celestial objects. In an article in T-Magazine, Dr. Syed Faisal ur Rahman argues that by investing in radio astronomy research and development, Pakistan has the potential to improve its technical capabilities in telecommunications, defence, medical imaging, and big data sciences. Investing in radio astronomy research also has the potential to foster collaboration and innovation across diverse groups and pave the way for more research avenues in the future.
By launching amateur radio astronomy projects, universities could offer students a platform to learn about radio astronomy and discover new celestial objects and phenomena. Similarly, the establishment of a radio interferometer in Pakistan’s Balochistan region could lead to higher-resolution radio images and facilitate the development of advanced astronomical technologies. The potential impact of this project could be similar to that of CERN which brought together scientists from across the continent to collaborate on groundbreaking research that has transformed our understanding of the universe.
