China is once again shaking up the world of astronomy — this time with a colossal 120-meter mobile radio telescope, reportedly under construction in Jilin. Unlike traditional static telescopes, this one can move and track objects across the sky in real-time, offering astronomers far more flexibility in deep-space exploration.
But that’s not all. This mega-telescope joins a growing network of 24 smaller 40-meter telescopes being installed across China, many of which support or complement the already-operational FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope) — the world’s largest stationary radio dish.
Together, these telescopes will allow China to detect faint signals from the farthest reaches of the cosmos, search for exoplanets, track asteroids, and even send calibrated signals to space with unprecedented accuracy.
While many countries scale back budgets, China is building the future of space science — one giant dish at a time.
