South Africa, Australia and New Zealand will host the biggest radio telescope ever built.
The nations belonging to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) organisation took the decision at a meeting on Friday.
The 1.5bn-euro (?1.2bn) SKA's huge fields of antennas will sweep the sky for answers to the major outstanding questions in astronomy.
They will probe the early Universe, test Einstein's theory of gravity and even search for alien intelligent life.
The project aims to produce a radio telescope with a collecting area of one million square metres - equivalent to about 200 football pitches.
To do this, it will have to combine the signals received by thousands of small antennas spread over thousands of kilometres.
Sharing the wealth
South Africa and Australasia had put forward separate, competing bids, and the early indications had been that there would be one outright winner.

Analysis
The telescope will deliver thousands of jobs and will showcase South Africa's rich history in astronomy.
The SKA will have 3,000 antennas across a vast semi-desert part of South Africa known as the Karoo. The site is already home to seven massive Gregorian dish antennas that form part of the Karoo Array Telescope, or Kat7.
South Africa is also pressing ahead with a 64-dish project, Meerkat, which is a precursor to SKA.
Professor Justin Jonas, a director of the SKA project in South Africa, says hosting two-thirds of the telescope still means hosting the largest telescope in the world.
But the SKA organisation decided both proposals should contribute something to the final design of the telescope.
"We have decided on a dual site approach," said SKA board chairman John Womersley.
He was speaking at a news conference held at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport following a meeting of the organisation's members in the Dutch capital.
The decision to use two sites will undoubtedly increase the cost and complexity of the SKA.
The SKA's targets will be radio sources in the sky that radiate at centimetre to metre wavelengths.
These include the clouds of hydrogen gas in the infant Universe that collapsed to form the very first stars and galaxies.
The SKA will map precisely the positions of the nearest billion galaxies. The structure they trace on the cosmos should reveal new details about "dark energy", the mysterious negative pressure that appears to be pushing the Universe apart at an ever increasing speed.
The telescope will also detail the influence of magnetic fields on the development of stars and galaxies. And it will zoom in on pulsars, the dead stars that emit beams of radio waves that sweep across the Earth like super-accurate time signals.
Astronomers believe these super-dense objects may hold the key to a more complete theory of gravity than that proposed by Einstein.
The Australasian bid was centred on a site at Boolardy Station, about 500km (310 miles) north of Perth in Western Australia. For South Africa, the central location put forward was in the Karoo in the Northern Cape, about 95km from Carnarvon.
Both have exceptional conditions for radio astronomy in that, being remote territories, they experience very little stray interference from cellular phone networks and TV broadcasts.
And Australia and South Africa had even started building precursor facilities which they hoped would enhance their bids' attractiveness.
Both these pathfinders, known as ASKAP (Australia) and Meerkat (South Africa), will now be incorporated into the final network. Most of the subsequent telescope dishes and mid-frequency aperture arrays will be built in Southern Africa, while the low-frequency aperture array antennas will be positioned in Australia.

Dr Bernie Fanaroff, the SKA South Africa project director, expressed his delight at the news.
"I think it's wonderful," he told BBC News.
"It means that for the first time in our history, Africa will be the host to the world's largest scientific instrument. And it shows a great deal of faith by the rest of the world in our ability and our capacity to both build and operate such a sophisticated instrument. It also reflects the recognition in Africa of how important science and technology is to our future."
The SKA's members include the UK, Netherlands, Italy, China, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. India has associate member status.
There will be major industrial return for all members. The next project engineering phase is worth about 90m euros. Phase 1 of the project, due to start in 2015/16, was valued at around 360m euros. The cost of the last phase was always uncertain and depended on knowing exactly where the SKA would be built and the final design it would take; but a sum of 1.2bn euros was considered a likely figure.
"This a long programme," said Dr Fanaroff.
"The construction phase alone will last from about 2013 to 2025. So, there's direct spin-off from construction, and there's the creation of employment through operations and maintenance that will go on for about 50 years.
"But there's also the less tangible, but more important in my view, economic aspect, which is the development of our capabilities in very hi-tech sectors, and the ability of our universities to attract large numbers of the best young people into science and engineering."

Just about every house owner has already been employing their storage like a closet, however, how properly the items tend to be saved is yet another issue completely. Goods that should be located as well as invisible somewhere are generally broke up with in the spare room. At present, the garage may perhaps be filled up with mess and also disorganized. It?s very important during this period to remove most things in the storage that you don?t wish to maintain or that is to be not good to you personally or anybody else. Things that require fix as well as irreparable should be put in the waste. Items which might still involve some lifestyle might be given to your neighborhood charitable organisation or even distributed for free. If you are planning to donate as well as provide stuff, make sure to do it right aside. It may be really simple to put things off for this. In fact, postponement could possibly have led to your own garage in these kinds of disrepair. The best plan of action is to buy rid of monetary gift products immediately after finding all of them. As soon as the storage has been eliminated of unwanted/unusable things, it is time to take supply with the outstanding items which have to be saved. What is the garden tractor, the snow thrower, and also bikes? Are available equipment, claws, insane, products, as well as other little components? In the event you responded to ?yes? to either of the queries you may want specialty pantry shelves like garage wardrobes as well as components storage space bins. Additionally take note the dimensions of the actual car port. Would it be an unusual designed structure? Exist objects in the way? In case your answer to sometimes of those concerns is ?yes? it may be essential to have a custom remedy. Now it is time for it to find some storage safe-keeping units. There are lots of item possibilities around regarding storage area organization. The options available at the big box retailers are most likely not necessarily planning to fulfill the supreme objective of accelerating your functionality of your respective garage. You?ll want something that hangs in the wall membrane in order to create a lot more floor space. You will want car port units that come created to tolerate standard storage circumstances. This is when a lot of the large box store solutions fall through the cracks. Individuals systems are not created to endure beneath temperature extreme conditions, to become drinking water as well as chemical resistant, or remain with each other despite hard handling; all of which tend to be problems you will discover inside standard storage area. Making the decision with what kind of storage space program to get is certainly less challenging since brain surgery but it?s an alternative that you should produced soon after careful consideration and organizing. You may also need to consult with a garage coordinating consultant to make certain that you are going inside the correct course. The most effective all round alternatives for storage units tend to be powder coated solid wood cabinets. A new natural powder layer storage cabinet can be water proof, compound immune, doesn?t scuff easily, and it is accessible in a large number of designs, dimensions, and colors

With his latest film Cosmopolis set to capture the imagination of the Cannes crowd on Friday, and the finale of the Twilight saga set to drop later in the year, Robert Pattinson's stock has never been higher in Tinseltown.
Rumour has it however, that he could be about to gain a whole new army of fans, with sources linking Pattinson to a role in Catching Fire, the forthcoming sequel to The Hunger Games.
Word is that Lionsgate want Pattinson and his prodigious cheekbones to take on the role of Finnick Odair, a former tribute with an eye for the ladies, who gets dragged into the Third Quarter Quell (a Hunger Games contested by previous winners).
Now while we're slightly sceptical as to whether Pattinson would really want to throw his lot in with another teen franchise post-Twilight, the fact that his Water For Elephants collaborator Francis Lawrence is now filling the director's chair could make this one a goer.
If he does accept the role, expect future Hunger Games premieres to take on the hysterical quality of their Twilight counterparts. In the meantime, you can see Pattinson in more adult fare, when Cosmopolis opens in the UK on 15 June 2012.
Move over, Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez. Ace Young just stole your spotlight.

A recent New York Times article asked, ?Is it okay to be fat if you?re fit?? According to Duck-Chul Lee, a research fellow at the University of South Carolina who led the study cited in the article, ?Both fitness and fatness matter, separately and together, for heart health?. So much attention gets focused on weight reduction, but reducing body fat is very difficult for most people. Our study suggests that, in terms of heart health, maintaining your fitness over your lifetime is just as important, and for most people is probably more achievable.?
According to the article, the researchers recruited 3,148 adult men and women, most in their 40s at the start of the study and all normally active but not athletes. None at first had any indications of heart disease or other risk factors, like high blood pressure or cholesterol.
The researchers then compared the patients? body fat and aerobic fitness during their second checkup, usually two or three years after the first. A majority of the people had, by that time, gained body fat. None of the participants during that second visit showed discernible risk factors for heart disease.
But by the time they showed up for their third checkup several years later, almost a quarter had developed high blood pressure, unhealthy cholesterol levels or a combination of risk factors called metabolic syndrome the article points out.
?It is better to be fit and fat than unfit and fat but ultimately, that is not really good news,? say boomer generation health experts Dian Griesel, Ph.D., and Tom Griesel, authors of the new books TurboCharged: Accelerate Your Fat Burning Metabolism, Get Lean Fast and Leave Diet and Exercise Rules in the Dust (April 2011, BSH) and The TurboCharged Mind (January 2012, BSH).
?Fit-fat people are still not as healthy as lean-fit people, and they often overlook key health indicators because they mistakenly believe their fitness offers some sort of cosmic or universal immunity,? adds Dian. ?They will usually use their fitness as a justification to eat a poor or at least suboptimal diet and are somehow able to dismiss what should be obvious when looking in the morning mirror. Somehow it seems like he is saying it?s OK to be fat as long you are fit and as a result it leaves a big, fat excuse for people to grab hold of. We agree with Lee that ?reducing body fat is very difficult for most people.? However, excess body fat is not healthy, and everyone would be better off without it.?
TurboCharged? is a groundbreaking 8-Step program that defies common weight-loss theories. It successfully delivers body-defining rapid fat loss, accelerates metabolism, and improves health and odds of longevity without gimmicks, supplements or special equipment. The TurboCharged Mind is an excellent companion book to the author?s acclaimed rapid fat loss book, TurboCharged, or perfect as a standalone read. A series of supporting TurboCharged? hypnosis downloads are available for sale via the book?s website, which offers ideal guided meditations to support and direct self-hypnosis sessions for faster fat loss, greater health, reduced stress, and to quit smoking.
