Competition is heating up for the $1 billion Square Kilometer Array (SKA) radio telescope project. Australia sent its bid this week; South Africa, China, and Argentina are due to submit before the 31 December deadline.

With possibly hundreds of dishes spread over a vast region, SKA will provide an unprecedented look at early galaxy formation and the nature of dark matter and dark energy. A preliminary ranking of the competing bids is expected next year, followed by a hunt for funding.
