FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope)

The FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope) is the world's largest single-dish radio telescope, located in China. It consists of a vast, 500-meter-wide dish made of thousands of panels that can be precisely adjusted to focus radio waves from space. FAST scans the universe to study celestial objects like pulsars, galaxies, and cosmic phenomena, helping scientists understand the origins and nature of the universe. Its enormous size allows it to detect faint signals from deep space with high sensitivity, making it a powerful tool for astronomical discovery.
