Using a new type of telescope, which detects low-frequency radio signals coming from outer space, scientists claim they will be able to see deeper into space, and so view events that occurred further into the universe's past due to the time it takes for the radio waves to reach Earth, than has previously been possible.
A network of 77 of these new telescopes is being built across Europe and will be combined with two other radio telescopes in the southern hemisphere to give an unprecedented view of the heavens.
Astronomers hope to find clues that will help them unravel how the first stars and galaxies formed from the cloud of cool gas that made up the universe after the Big Bang.
