Given the sensitivity of FAST Osmanov found that the radio telescope could spot self-replicating probes from a Type II civilization at a distance of around 86,000 light-years, about 85 percent of ...

A telescope based in China, called FAST, can purportedly detect swarms of self-replicating probes from civilizations far more advanced than humanity.

In the hills of China’s Guizhou province, a natural rock bowl cradles the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope. This instrument, called FAST—the Five-Hundred-Meter Aperture Spherical ...

Plus, with Saturn making its return to the night sky next week after spending the last few months as a 'morning star', the ...

And FAST is wide eyed: its field of vision is almost twice as big as the Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico that has been the world’s biggest single aperture telescope for the past 53 years.

Other telescopes that use multiple dishes have more resolution and, in fact, FAST adds 3 dozen 5 meter commercial dishes to get an increase in resolution of 100 times.

FAST is an enormous ground-based telescope that is extremely sensitive and picks up radio signals from different points of the sky. It is used for research into SETI ...

Together, these new telescopes will create an array that mimics a gigantic telescope with an over 6-mile (10-kilometer) diameter. This will considerably improve FAST’s resolution, making it over ...

Using a combination of telescopes, astronomers have characterized the closest supernova linked to a fast X-ray transient. The ...

Prior to FAST’s mother lode of new events, scientists using other radio telescopes had reported nearly 350 FRBs from this source, which is nestled in a galaxy where lots of young stars are ...
