China is assembling what has been hailed as the world’s largest radio telescope, state media reported. The 500-meter tool will boast a dish the size of 30 football pitches, overtaking Puerto Rico’s Arecibo Observatory, “only” 305 meters in diameter.

With a perimeter of about 1.6km, it will take up to 40 minutes to walk around the single-aperture spherical telescope, which is called “FAST”. It will be constructed deep in the mountains of the southwestern Guizhou Province, built on a naturally formed bowl-shaped valley, Xinhua reports.

“There are three hills about 500 meters away from one another, creating a valley that is perfect to support the telescope,” Sun Caihong, chief engineer of FAST’s construction, told the news agency.
