The world's largest fully steerable radio telescope is under construction in northeast China's Jilin Province. Located in Huadian, Jilin, the radio telescope will be 120 meters in diameter and help scientists in understanding planets and asteroids more accurately. What is special about the new telescope is that it can send electromagnetic waves to celestial bodies and receive the return waves to measure the distances between the planets and the Earth accurately.
