The world's largest telescope is open to visitors

After being commissioned in September 2016, a 500m-wide Aperture Spherical (FAST) telescope in China officially opened to the public. However, every day this place only welcomes 2,000 guests.

When visiting the world's largest telescope, visitors must be extremely careful due to the degree of perceived acumen of the apparatus.

Visitors are required to resend the electronic equipment before entering the observatory.

FAST telescope was built in remote mountainous areas of Guizhou Province (China).

This work enhances human understanding of the origin of the universe, seeking extraterrestrial life and can give China some Nobel prize.

Local media have said that increasing the size of the salute further helps the telescope capture weak signals from the distant universe.

FAST is able to obtain signals over a distance of 11 billion light-years and within 1 year of operation, this work has helped people more than double the number of previous pulses.

However, experts still do not expect FAST to make a breakthrough in astronomy in the next few years because they still have to check and fix bugs related to complex devices.

The FAST project was first introduced in 2007 and began construction in 2011. In July 2015, FAST began installing 4,450 reflective glass panels. The whole project cost about 1.2 billion yuan.

In order to proceed with the construction, Quy Chau government had to relocate 10,000 people living within a 50km radius.

This resettlement plan has received many criticisms for consuming labor costs as well as a small amount of compensation for people, 12,000 yuan per person, only half of the average annual income of the Chinese people. National.

Local people also complained that the resettlement houses that the nearby construction authorities have had poor quality.

Not only that, when FAST went into operation in September last year, a new regulation was introduced to keep quiet around the telescope area including banning construction, hunting, exploitation and settlement.

Violators may be fined 100,000 yuan.
