(240926) -- PINGTANG, Sept. 26, 2024 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on Sept. 25, 2024 shows the newly installed first test prototype of the Core Array of China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope under the starry sky in southwest China's Guizhou Province.
Wednesday marks the eighth anniversary of the launch of China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST). On the same day, the construction of the Core Array of FAST started, highlighting China's growing potential in global radio astronomy research.
As a proposed extension of FAST, the world's largest single-dish radio telescope, the Core Array integrates 24 secondary 40-meter antennas implanted within 5 kilometers of the FAST site.
The Chinese-designed array will combine the unprecedented sensitivity of FAST with a high angular resolution, thereby exceeding the capabilities at similar frequencies of next-generation arrays in the world. (Xinhua/Liu Xu)
