Data from the Shaped Antenna measurement of the background Radio Spectrum 3 (SARAS) telescope has helped astronomers estimate the properties of some of the earliest stars and galaxies, formed around 200 million years after the Big Bang. It provides insights into the primitive radio-luminous galaxies, which are usually powered by black holes. The telescope was developed at the Raman Research Institute (RRI), Banglore.
