Morocco Unveils First Radio Telescope, Advancing Astronomical Research

In a press release, the cultural center stated that with this radio telescope, it will be easier to capture the radio waves emitted by the sun, star-forming regions, quasars and the nuclei of galaxies. A new disciplinary field in space sciences is opening up for astronomy specialists in Morocco.

In addition to this radio telescope, the cultural center has many other high-performance astronomical observation instruments available to the public. There are three telescopes. There is also a Coronado telescope dedicated to observing the sun’s prominences and filaments, as well as a siderostat that allows the real image of the sun to be projected continuously.
