Chinese ET Search

China’s Aperture Spherical Telescope will be up and running in September. The 500-meter-wide device is the largest of its kind and will add more resources to the ongoing search for extraterrestrial life. The next largest telescope of this type is Puerto Rico's Arecibo Observatory, which is 300 meters in diameter.

Of course, the new telescope can also do more things such as neutral hydrogen, faint pulsars, and low frequency gravitational waves.

Even better is China's plan to make the telescope available to world scientists in a few years. This makes it a world scientific asset.
