Summary:

This news article explains about the construction of world's largest telescope. It measure 500 meters in diameter and it's being constructed in south-west China, more concretely in Gizhou Province. The project is called FAST which means Five-hundred-meter Aperture Sphercial Telescope and. In the text we can learn this telescope was tested on Saturday and it's going to be finished and running in September 2016 if all is correct.

This article tells us according to The China Daily the telescope will collect information of all universe using the connection of 4500 triangles (more or less) that mesure 11 meters long. The construction will cost £124 M.

My opinion:

I think it's a good project because maybe it helps us to understand some things in the universe that are impossible to be discovered without a telescope like this. Also it helps to improve the science in general and I thing it's very important.
