Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), or the "China Sky Eye," a team of Chinese astronomers have built the largest-ever high-quality catalog of extragalactic neutral hydrogen (HI) and published their groundbreaking achievements in the journal "Science China: Physics, Mechanics and Astronomy." (CGTN)
In a significant astronomical breakthrough, scientists have detected the neutral hydrogen line emission from extragalactic galaxies for the first time with the help of the world's largest radio telescope, which could help enrich the understanding of dark matter.
China has honored Nan Rendong, founding scientist of the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), with a posthumous title of "role model of our times." The Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee announced the decision on Friday.
