Did you know? 🔭 SALT is a spectroscopic telescope designed for powerful sky surveys! Its large collecting area and Sutherland’s dark skies let astronomers capture both faint, low-brightness objects and bright targets with incredible efficiency. #SALT20 @DSTI @NRF_News

SALT isn’t just a telescope — it’s a spectroscopic powerhouse! 🌈 From bright stars to faint galaxies, SALT studies the universe’s secrets using light itself. 💫 With the power to switch instruments in a flash, it’s ready to chase cosmic events the moment they happen! ⚡ #SALT20

Just to be clear - given recent drivel on line - Comet 3I/Atlas is a comet, made of carbon dioxide and water ices and bits of other stuff. It is entirely natural in origin, its orbit is as expected and it will whizz around the sun and then disappear off into the galaxy again. If…
