China Is Going To Build A Radio Telescope That Can Detect Signs Of Life Billions Of Light Years From Earth

China has an impressive engineering research project, it is possible to step closer to the question of whether humanity failed, one step people are truly alone in the universe, or no other extraterrestrials.

NEW RADIO TELESCOPE

The Ministry of Defense is the largest project in which it plans to build the world's largest radio telescope. More recently the state media released pictures that have already been designed to be awesome. When the project is completed, its 'thali' is the size of thirty football fields - respectively, telescopes can radically change the perception of the human universe and its inhabitants.

Identification of signs of life on planets and other cosmic objects at a distance of millions of light-years and possible interception of radio signals after the commissioning of the object. China's state news channel reports that the telescope will be completed in 2016, and a giant "dish" will provide a more precise definition. Radio telescope - this as a sensitive ear that transmits meaningful signals, replacing them with white noise in the universe. Listening to the crap found during a thunderstorm is like.

PROGRESSIVE ASTRONOMY

The incredible precision of this telescope can serve as a basis for future space missions observing faint pulsars, as well as telescopes, allowing astronomers to observe the galaxy and other galaxies. And, naturally, this will allow for the presence of life on other planets to advance space exploration. In July 2015, when NASA discovered a planet similar to Earth, called the Kepler-452B, was inspiring all humanity to understand. This planet was in the right region - at a distance from the sun, which allowed it to air and even water on its own. although, At this time the definition of radio signals originating from the planet is beyond the scope of modern equipment. But now everything has changed. The general director of the Astronomical Society of China spoke with confidence about the possibilities of the future project - with the help of people will be able to search for intelligent life outside the galaxy, as well as to study the origin of the universe.

IDEAL PLACE

Construction of the telescope began in 2011 in Guizhou Province - in a natural depression between the Karst Mountains. The isolation of the place of civilization is the least interference from other radio signals, and the geographical location of the region makes it ideal for keeping this type of telescope. When completed, the new telescope will surpass the existing largest radio telescope located at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico - a diameter of 305 meters.

GREAT LEAP FORWARD

The Chinese space program is growing steadily. In 2003, China became the third country to send a man into orbit, and since then launched the Chinese conquered astronauts, a space laboratory and a lunar probe sent to the moon. In 2015, the Chinese engaged in the construction of depressor rockets to launch the second robot mission to the moon and build a space station.

And there is one element that will be able to change people's thoughts about the universe - the Giant Observatory would be a great addition to an already ambitious space program. Many believe that humanity is not alone in the universe. Of course, no one can guarantee that the new largest radio telescope will surely find traces of the existence of intelligent life. But we can say with confidence that it will allow people to look much deeper into space, where no one has ever been seen before.

Chinese scientists have seriously set out to fundamentally turn the idea of space to humanity. And at the same time sign of life, it may be interesting to find out what is not related to the Earth, but in fact this telescope is more serious and important mission. Apart from this it certainly marks the beginning of a new era in astronomy - and China is unlikely to halt its spectacular progress.
