China starts world's largest radio telescope www3.nhk.or.jp
China has started operations of a newly-completed radio telescope to listen for signals from outer space.
China's state-run Xinhua news agency says the facility in the inland province of Guizhou has the world's largest radio telescope dish. It measures 500 meters in diameter, surpassing one of 305 meters in Puerto Rico.
The agency says nearly 1.2 billion yuan, or about 180 million dollars, was invested in the construction. About 10,000 people who were living within a 5-kilometer radius were relocated to ensure radio silence.
China's state media says the telescope will be made available to scientists around the globe after 2 to 3 years of tests. The media say the telescope will play a major role in the search for the origins of the universe.
In recent years, China has been making space explorations and planning its own space station.
Observers say the country could be aiming to increase its presence in the international community through such space projects.
