China's expanding radio telescope network boosts space science & global astronomy

China has seen major breakthroughs in deep space exploration thanks to advanced radio telescopes that serve as humanity's "eyes" for observing the universe.

Since its launch in 2016, China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope, or FAST, has identified more than 1,000 new pulsars. The telescope was opened to the world in 2021.

Over the years, the Tianma has also attracted science enthusiasts for tourism experiences.

The village that houses the telescope hosts educational camps and has several lodging and dining options for visitors.
