Bingo, an international project led by physicists from S\u00e3o Paulo, will examine the effects of the interaction between hydrogen and electromagnetic radiation (<a href=\"http:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/2017\/07\/27\/waves-of-material-from-the-early-universe\/?cat=politica\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">see <em>Pesquisa FAPESP<\/em> No. 252<\/a>). In early September 2017, at the annual meeting of the Brazilian Astronomy Society, physicist Carlos Alexandre Wuensche, a researcher at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) and one of the project coordinators, announced that the telescope should be built in a valley of the Urubu Mountains, in the municipality of Aguiar, in the western part of Para\u00edba State. According to Wuensche, the site was chosen together with researchers from the Federal University of Campina Grande, and the R$12 million that was obtained through FAPESP funding will cover most of the project\u2019s costs. Researchers and institutions in Brazil, Uruguay, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and China are participating in the project. Measurements indicated that there is virtually no interference in the Urubu Mountains and that it is a good location to host Bingo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Difficulties are preventing the possibility of building Bingo in Uruguay","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1651],"tags":[205,234,235],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-252057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-notes","tag-astronomy","tag-finance","tag-physics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252057\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252057"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=252057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
