A gigantic telescope to detect alien life. State's media stated that China is moving away ten thousands people in order to make way for the world's largest radio telescope. An enormous device whose main objective is to detect intelligent extraterrestrial life.

China is uprooting ten thousands people ahead of world's largest radio telescope, under construction since 2011. This mighty machine aims at discovering intelligent extraterrestrial life.

Named Five-hundred-metre Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) by scientists, it is capable of covering an area as big as thirty cricket fields.

Last year Shi Zhicheng, a Chinese astronomer, told the South China Morning Post that the telescope represented a giant leap in the hunt for alien life. “If intelligent aliens exist, the messages that they produced or left behind, if they are being transmitted through space, can be detected and received by Fast,” Shi said.

Its entry into operation is expected this year.
