By July this year, scientists had identified over 660 new pulsars, using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), known as the "China Sky Eye." The world's largest single-dish radio telescope has greatly expanded the limits of our view of the universe. Click on to the video and and see a bird’s view of the "China Sky Eye."
The installation of reflectors on the world's largest radio telescope has begun, marking the start of a final key stage of the telescope's construction. Located in a natural valley of Southwest China's Guizhou province, the 500-meter aperture spherical radio telescope, known as the FAST Project, had its first reflecting unit installed in early August.
A new drone video has been released by China Central Television Station showing the latest progress of one of the country's most ambitious scientific projects - a radio telescope the size of 30 football pitches. The Five hundred metre Aperture Spherical Telescope, shortened to FAST, has been billed as the world's largest radio telescope and is located in the deepest mountains of rural southwest China.
