China is turbocharging its cosmic exploration game! Construction began this week on a core array for the world-renowned Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), nicknamed the 'Sky Eye.' By adding 24 secondary 40-meter antennas within 5km of the main dish, this upgrade could make FAST the ultimate cosmic detective by 2027.
The new tech aims to boost FAST's sensitivity like noise-canceling headphones for space signals , while achieving sharper cosmic snapshots than other global arrays. But engineers face two major tech hurdles: developing next-gen room-temperature receivers (think 5G routers for alien signals ) and creating data-crunching systems that can sync different-sized telescopes—a first for Chinese astronomy.
Jiang Peng, deputy director at the National Astronomical Observatories, confirms the team is 'leveling up' FAST's capabilities despite challenges. Stay tuned as China rewrites the rules of deep-space discovery!
