What is the purpose and significance of the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST)?

The 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) is used in radio astronomy research, which means that it can better grasp astronomical data and create more value.

The 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) has a huge volume and strong observation ability, so it can naturally obtain a large amount of data. It is estimated that this telescope can get up to hundreds of terabytes of observation data in one day and night. Such a huge scale puts great demands on data storage and processing, but in order to obtain more scientific research results.

The 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) needs to further improve its observation capability, and Guizhou University has the only provincial-level big data research laboratory in China, which is strong in the field of big data. This time, they developed the technology of processing the observation data of Tian Yan telescope with big data technology.

brief introduction

The 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) represents China's great strength in basic disciplines and engineering fields, represents China's highest achievement in related scientific fields, and is a well-deserved national heavyweight.

Because of this celestial eye, China is in a leading position in the fields of drift scanning survey, neutral hydrogen galaxy survey, galactic polarization survey, pulsar time measurement and rapid radio burst observation. It can increase the speed of deep space communication in China by 100 times, discover and observe dark matter and dark energy, provide "space weather forecast" by observing solar activity, and even provide accurate navigation for future interstellar flight.
