This is yet another great development in term of future scientific exploration. Tunka-HiSCORE is the largest ever gamma-ray telescope being built in Russia

Russia's Irkutsk State University has said that it is in the process of building the biggest and largest gamma ray telescope in the world. This is a big development and seems to have brought cheers to the faces of space lovers across the world.

But this is not going to be an easy task as manufacturing such a huge gamma –ray telescope actually means a process that is very intricate and cumbersome. Latest reports from Russia's Irkutsk State University suggest that the project's site will finally feature 10 optical stations and 20 stations to register charged particles besides other machineries.

Latest reports coming from the centre suggest that the construction work has already begun. The gamma ray telescope has been named Tunka-HiSCORE. A report while detailing the project says, "The telescope that has no analogues in the world will register ultra-high energy particles coming from the universe.
