What happened to the "500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST)" built with an initial investment of 600 million RMB?

When it comes to telescopes, many people may have a certain understanding. When our naked eyes can't see the distant scenery clearly, we will use telescopes. But this time, the telescope we are going to talk about is different. It is the largest radio telescope in the world, with a diameter of 500 meters. The name of this telescope is "500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST)". Do you think it's amazing by the name? In fact, the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) is mainly used to observe outer space and record scientific data. In addition, it belongs to the national major scientific and technological infrastructure. Some people have questioned this. What about this radio telescope, which was originally built with an investment of 600 million yuan and is known as the "500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST)"? What's the use?

First, let's learn some information about the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST). Scientists put forward the idea of 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) in 1994, which took 22 years to complete, with a total investment of 660 million, and was officially put into use in 20 16. At that time, the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) surpassed radio telescopes in other countries and became the first in the world. The scientific name of the 500m spherical radio telescope (FAST) is 500m spherical radio telescope. Knowing how important it is to have such a large telescope in the field of astronomical science can help scientists demonstrate many theories and observe various changes in the universe. In addition, the signal receiving area of the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) has reached 250,000 square meters. The larger the receiving area, the more cosmic information you can know. So what about this "500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST)" with a total investment of 660 million? What did you find?

In fact, the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST), like radio telescopes in other countries, is running dutifully every day. Let's talk about what has been discovered since the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) was built. At present, our 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) has discovered 59 pulsars, 44 of which have been confirmed as newly discovered stars. Many people may not know the significance of finding pulsars. In fact, pulsars are stars that constantly send out pulse signals, and the frequency is very stable. It can play the role of navigation. If we humans want to achieve interstellar travel, we can't rely on the GPS on the earth for positioning and navigation, but we can rely on the pulse signals sent by pulsars in the universe for positioning, so the more pulsars we find, the more benefits we will have.

In addition, the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) has now built an education base for popular science, which attracts many astronomy enthusiasts and students to visit and visit every year, and this popular science base has also specially set up astronomical exploration courses and popular science explanations, which have been liked by many people. At present, the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) has just completed the debugging stage and passed the process acceptance. In the debugging stage, the performance of the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) is stable, and a lot of valuable scientific data have been obtained. In the future, I believe that the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) will bring us more surprises and discover more mysteries of the universe.

Finally, the headmaster concluded that the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST), as the largest radio telescope in the world, has stable performance and is in good condition. At the same time, it has also built a popular science education base, which is a good place for people's astronomy enthusiasts. At the same time, I also think that the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) has just been put into use, and there are still many secrets waiting for it to discover in the future. Therefore, we will always look forward to it and expect it to uncover more mysteries of the universe for us.
