📡 The 𝐅𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐞 is the most sensitive fixed radio telescope in the world! 🌍✨ Unlike the 100m Effelsberg radio telescope, FAST is built into a natural depression.
However, it uses an 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 ⚙️ to adjust its sensitivity and capture signals from different parts of the sky 🌌: The 𝟒,𝟒𝟓𝟎 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐬 of its upward-facing dish dynamically deform. FAST can receive signals from an area of about 40° around the zenith. 🔭 Thanks to Earth’s rotation 🌍, it can also observe different celestial objects.
🔎 𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙣: Imagine you are lying flat on your back and looking straight up – that’s the zenith (90° above the horizon). If you extend your arm forward and make a fist 🤜 , the width of your fist represents about 10° in the sky. If you stack two fists on top of each other 🤜🤛 or spread the fingers of one hand ✋, you get about 20°.
