China is building the world's largest radio telescope to find out if we are the truly alone in the universe. Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, FAST is almost complete. Started in 2011, China’s news agency should be completed in 2016. It will be able to detect radio signals and possibly signs of life on other planets. This 'dish' shaped telescope will be the size of 30 football pitches. FAST will allow scientist to discover if there is life on Earth like Kepler-452b when other radio telescopes couldn’t. The excitement is starting because now we will truly find out if we are alone.
