The Murchison Widefield Array radio telescope unveiled Friday will give the world a dramatically improved view of the sun and provide early warning of explosive solar storms that can damage to communication satellites, electric power grids and GPS navigation systems, the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research in Perth reported.
