    FAST Telescope Under Maintenance - China

    A panoramic drone photo taken on September 25, 2024 shows China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) under maintenance in southwest China's Guizhou Province. FAST, the world's largest filled-aperture and most sensitive radio telescope, has identified more than 1,000 new pulsars, its operator said on Tuesday. The number of new pulsars discovered by FAST has surpassed that of all foreign telescopes combined during the same period, according to the National Astronomical Observatories under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.Photo by Ou Dongqu/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM

          An aerial drone photo taken on September 25, 2024 shows China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) under maintenance in southwest China's Guizhou Province. Wednesday marks the eighth anniversary of the launch of China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST). On the same day, the construction of the Core Array of FAST started, highlighting China's growing potential in global radio astronomy research. As a proposed extension of FAST, the world's largest single-dish radio telescope, the Core Array integrates 24 secondary 40-meter antennas implanted within 5 kilometers of the FAST site. The Chinese-designed array will combine the unprecedented sensitivity of FAST with a high angular resolution, thereby exceeding the capabilities at similar frequencies of next-generation arrays in the world.
