World's largest radio telescope makes its first discovery
China-based Five-hundred-metre Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) has announced the discovery of multiple pulsars, marking the first confirmed finds from the world's largest radio telescope. Pulsars, remnants of stars, are dubbed 'lighthouses' of the universe due to their regular rotational periods and focussed radiation. The $180-million facility is looking for signs of extraterrestrial life.
