The telescope is nestled between hills in the mountainous region of Guizhou, China. Researchers said the the The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) would search for gravitational waves, detect radio emissions from stars and galaxies and listen for signs of intelligent extraterrestrial life. 

Installation of the 4,450-panel structure, nicknamed Tianyan, or the Eye of Heaven, started in 2011 and was completed in July. China has plans for a permanent orbiting space station by 2020 and eventually a manned mission to the moon.
