<p>The Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) is a <a href="/facts/Radio_telescope/SxIXUowL">radio telescope</a> dedicated to observing large scale structure during and prior to the epoch of <a href="/facts/Reionization/tfqf1Ny9">reionization</a>. HERA is a <a href="/facts/Square_Kilometre_Array/kU3LueER">Square Kilometre Array</a> (SKA) precursor instrument, intended to observe the early universe and to assist in the design of the full SKA. Along with <a href="/facts/MeerKAT/2fEdCFbA">MeerKAT</a>, also in South Africa, and two <a href="/facts/Radio_telescope/SxIXUowL">radio telescopes</a> in <a href="/facts/Western_Australia/1ouCbwNh">Western Australia</a>, the <a href="/facts/Australian_SKA_Pathfinder/N1Qe8EKX">Australian SKA Pathfinder</a> (ASKAP) and the <a href="/facts/Murchison_Widefield_Array/5PBxJmVT">Murchison Widefield Array</a> (MWA), the HERA is one of four precursors to the final SKA. It is located in the <a href="/facts/Meerkat_National_Park/Da9XMQ0H">Meerkat National Park</a>.
