Big steps in African science

Welcome to this month's Africa Research News.

We are happy to share some exciting news about science in Africa. Let us take a look at the big progress happening and the top places too.

Reports show that science work from Africa is getting better and there is more of it.

In the last ten years, Africa's share of world research has grown from less than 1% to almost 1%.

This shows that African scientists are doing more work than ever before.

Looking at the Stars

Africa is doing great things in star research (astronomy). There's a big telescope in southern Africa called SALT. It's the biggest of its kind in the southern half of the world.

Recently, scientists used this telescope to find a group of galaxies. This is a big deal in understanding space.
