Sky eye weather in Guizhou

"Eye of the Sky" is actually a spherical radio telescope with a diameter of about 500 meters. Its main function is to detect celestial bodies and various pulse signals. It can also be said that it is used to discover life in the universe, transmit earth signals, conduct deep space exploration, and prepare for future human exploration and discovery of deep space.

Recently, the Chinese Academy of Sciences said that China will build another five "Eye of the Sky" arrays. According to Academician Wu, a big country can improve the country's speaking status in the international arena, and astronomy relies on big equipment to speak. Building five more "Eye of the Sky" means 50 years ahead of the world, which is unmatched by any country. Academician Wu also said that in the past, we said that every natural article had a job, and now there are still five natural articles that have not been done. (PS: Nature is one of the oldest and most prestigious scientific magazines in the world)

It is understood that China's first "eye of the sky", FAST, is located in Guizhou. At that time, the construction cost was11.50 billion yuan, and the daily maintenance cost was 400,000 yuan. This is also the world's largest single aperture and most sensitive radio telescope independently developed by China.

Moreover, the opening of FAST directly promoted the improvement of local traffic. If you drive there, you can use your mobile phone to search for "500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) scenic spot" and then enter this official WeChat account with the latest route navigation. Starting from Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou, the road conditions used to be very good. Basically, it took 1 more hours to pass at high speed.

Then why did Tian Yan choose Dawodang (a naturally formed karst depression) in Guizhou?

In fact, Tian Yan's position is very special, and many factors need to be considered. The first is the cost, that is, the amount of excavation must be small; Secondly, in order to ensure less wireless electromagnetic interference, there must be fewer people; Thirdly, the permeability of rock must be strong, so as to ensure that the surface water can penetrate downwards, which is beneficial to drainage; Finally, choose the plateau area, where the air is thin, the atmosphere is transparent and easy to clean.

It should be noted that the biggest threat to the eye of the sky is hail weather, because hail will cause great losses to communications and electricity. Therefore, we should also choose areas with less hail weather.

Some netizens said that burning money, helping the poor and making chips are not fragrant.

Some netizens also said that the five "Eye of the Sky" spent 6 billion yuan to build and the maintenance cost was 2 million yuan a day. The cost is huge. I hope its role can afford its cost.

Although the Eye of Heaven costs a lot, it also plays a considerable role in improving the status of the country. At present, hundreds of pulsars have been discovered through the eye of the sky, laying the foundation for discovering another planet where human beings can live. Of course, it does not conflict with the core poverty alleviation questioned by netizens. After all, the country pursues comprehensive, efficient and comprehensive development, so we also have reason to believe that the country has always put the interests of the people first.
