[Photo/Xinhua] Some world-leading scientists said that the five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) in Guizhou province, which officially opened to the world on Wednesday, may turn out Nobel-level discoveries and they may consider applying for observations. FAST, the world's most sensitive and largest single-dish radio telescope and currently the only one of its kind allowing astronomers and astrophysicists to observe the deep universe, has invited astronomers from around the world to apply on its website (fast.bao.ac.cn/proposal_submit) for outer-space observations.
