MeerKat Array Chat
On the 13th of July we spoke to 3 special people who knew a lot about space on Skype. We asked them most of our questions about the MeerKAT project and learned a lot more about this project. One of the questions are: Why is this project called the "MeerKAT" Project? and was answered: It was originally called the cat array, then when the South African government had more money to build more telescopes the called it the MeerKAT Array, Meer meaning more. This experience has been really wonderful.

This is an excellent blog post. You summed up the skyping well. I especially like how you described how the name Meerkat came along!
