Celebrities in the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) scenic spot _ Tian Yan Twelve Constellations Observation Deck

Tian Yan, Guizhou is located in Kedu Town, Pingtang County, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province.

Tian Yan is a 500m spherical radio telescope known as the 500m spherical radio telescope (FAST). FAST is located in Jinke Village, Kedu Town, Pingtang County, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. Tian Yan is the largest single-aperture and most sensitive radio telescope in the world, and its comprehensive performance is ten times that of the famous radio telescope Arecibo.

Sky Eye is the largest spherical radio telescope in the world, and its ability to observe the universe is also extremely powerful. We can observe the edge of the universe and help people explore the unknown universe better. Man is just a dust in the vast universe, and his understanding of the universe is extremely limited. For the vast universe, his current understanding of the universe is only the tip of the iceberg. The pace of human exploration of the universe has never stopped, and the completion and use of the Eye of the Sky has made human exploration of the universe a step forward.
