The Cosmic Savannah Ep. 083: Celebrating 20 Years of SALT
Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize & François Campher. Jacinta and Francois wrap up Season 6 of The Cosmic Savannah with this exciting and reflective episode, discussing the history, science and legacy of the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) which celebrated it’s 20th anniversary in November of 2025. The team is joined by Professor David Buckley from the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO), who served as the project scientist for the SALT project. In this episode, we discuss the full evolution of SALT, from idea to instrument and all the chaos along the way and also what the future holds for SALT and South African astronomy.
