After Arecibo, China's FAST Telescope Takes Centerstage – in Tense Climate

In the hills of China’s Guizhou province, a natural rock bowl cradles the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope. This instrument, called FAST – the Five-Hundred-Meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope – is, as its name suggests, 500 meters, or about 1,640 feet, across, a size that helps scientists detect more distant and fainter objects. And in late March, FAST began accepting scientific proposals from international astronomers for the first time.
The timing couldn’t have been better. In August 2020, a support cable on the next-largest telescope of this sort – part of the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, the only telescope of its class in the United States – snapped. Another cable followed a few months later. Then, in December, with a puff of dust, the massive instrument platform that once hung above the telescope crashed down, destroying the 305-meter dish. ....

China’s premier astronomy and planetary resources lure foreign collaborators
Apr. 1, 2021 , 11:15 AM
For a generation, China played scientific catch-up to more advanced nations, but the tables are turning. China has the world’s largest radio telescope and the first Moon rocks in 45 years. Now, it is offering foreign researchers access to those scientific treasures. Many are eager, but others are uneasy about what they see as collaborating with an authoritarian regime.
In December 2020, the Chang’e-5 mission returned 1.7 kilograms of rock and soil from the Moon the first lunar samples since 1976, and a chance for researchers to obtain dates that could help unravel Solar System history. On 18 January, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) confirmed it would encourage “joint international research” on the sampl ....

A West Virginia University astrophysicist is among this year s Sloan Fellows, scholars recognized as emerging leaders in science.
Sarah Burke-Spolaor, an assistant professor of astronomy, is one of 128 young faculty members from the U.S. and Canada to receive the competitive award.
It is a fantastic honor to receive this. There have been so many scientists who have been awarded this fellowship, many I respect and know. Being in the same category as these people is just amazing, Burke-Spolaor said. It s pleasing to be recognized as an emerging leader in physics. ....
