China starts world’s largest radio telescope. Its area equal to 30 football fields.
The construction of the 500-meter telescope began in 2011.
It is not only the largest but also the most sensitive device that can detect the pulses at a distance of 1000 light years.
The developers hope that with its help it will shed light on the origin of our Universe. Also with the help of the telescope, scientists can detect signs of life on other planets.
