China is building one of the fastest astronomical computers, which will serve as the world's largest radio telescope. This Supercomputer Skyeye-1, capable of a quadrillion computing operations per second, is being constructed to support space exploration. The 500 metre aperture spherical telescope (FAST) will search for alien life far put in the cosmos
This telescope with a dish size of 30 football fields is located deep in the mountains of Southern Guizhou. The construction began in March 2011 and when it is completed in 2016, China's space tracking scope will be extending from the moon's orbit to the outside edge of the solar system. A radio signal as far as tens of billions of light years away could possibly be caught by this telescope.
The gigantic radio telescope will cost approximately 1.2 billion Yuan ( 120 million Euros ), making it the biggest astronomy project China has ever had.
