Although it’s uncertain when the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) will zoom-in on Tabby’s star, hopes are high that the world’s biggest single dish radio observatory will contribute greatly to Breakthrough Listen’s SETI project.
The world’s largest single-dish radio telescope will join the hunt for intelligent aliens that could be building a “megastructure” around the star KIC 8462852 — otherwise known as “Tabby’s Star.”
The recently completed Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope, or “FAST,” occupies a valley in the southwestern Guizhou province of China.
