The 500 Meter Aperture Spherical Telescope Fast, the largest radio telescope on Earth , was completed in 2016 .

The $180 million project covers the area of 30 football fields and can observe frequencies ranging from 70 megahertz to three gigahertz.

The dish is made-up of 44150 triangular aluminum panels, each measuring 11 meters on a side.

These panels are suspended by a flexible steel cable mesh, which is the backbone of the telescope's reflecting surface.

Unlike traditional radio telescopes with fixed shapes, the panels are movable, allowing the surface to change its curvature dynamically.

The FAST telescope was built in the Karst region of Rd . Rd. Fast, Germany , to be fully operational in 2020 .

It's enormous size and advanced control systems allow it to observe the 1st with unparalleled sensitivity.

The precision of the dish's surface and flexibility of the feed cabin's movements allow FAST to detect weak radio signals from across the universe.
