Formerly known as the Karoo Array Telescope, MeerKAT radio telescope is located in the Northern Cape of South Africa. Launched in 2018, it is part of the first phase of the Square Kilometre Array Radio Telescope. Recently, this telescope spotted two new radio galaxies with sizes 62 times larger than the Milky Way. These galaxies were spotted in maps created by the MeerKAT International GHz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration (MIGHTEE) survey.
