Alien life hunting telescope

Chines Telescope for Alien Life Hunting In Outer Space  

Enormous bowl-like structure is the world's largest single dish radio telescope it's known as the 500 meter aperture spherical telescope or fast for short on Sunday began its search for signals from stars and galaxies including signs of alien civilization in the process it became the latest and biggest marker of China's ambition to be a world player and science fossil hideaway the first goal of fast is to discover the law of the universe or the law of celestial bodies formation evolution and movements in principle if alien civilizations do exist their communication signals may be similar with the ones received from pulsars these types of telescopes work by bouncing radio waves from the cosmos off the dish and into a receiver the data collected is used to study how galaxies in the universe evolved one is to study the radiation from the simplest element in the universe which is hydrogen the second big thing is pulsars and things going bang in the sky

construction of the telescope again in 2011 it is made up of four thousand 450 triangular panels that can be rearranged using hydraulics to focus on specific areas of space state media says fast has doubled the sensitivity and can survey information 5 to 10 times faster than the world's second largest radio telescope the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico

both issues when everyone is focusing their attention of how grand a structure is was most impressive about fast his position you have to reach this level position on this level of scale at a stipulated time

this is what's really difficult to achieve

the telescope is the latest in a string of high-profile scientific research projects China has introduced in the past year the country launched the 10 going to its second space lab earlier this month in August it deployed the world's first quantum communication satellite to test the possibility of a global hack-proof communications network state media pegged the total cost of a new telescope at a surprisingly affordable 180 million dollars

researchers chose this location in southwestern China's rugged gray Jo province because of its size and shape and because the mountains help block out radio noise the government had to move thousands of villagers to make way for the project spending roughly 270 million dollars to relocate them state media said tourists can pay roughly 55 dollars to view the telescope from a nearby mountain top observation deck plans call for a 1.8 billion dollar tourism part to be built in the area including a 5,000 square meter planetarium

china says it intends for the project to be collaborative and as scientists from around the world will be invited to study the findings some critics have questioned China's scientific approach saying the country favors flashy Hardware over substantive research but at least in a search for alien life the two go hand in hand

bigger is better in radio astronomy the signals in radio astronomy are so weak but you need big telescopes to see it it's man's curiosity it's fundamental physics we want to understand how this universe which we live in is put together
