    China's Five﹣hundred﹣meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope （望远镜） （FAST），commonly known as"Sky Eye"（单口径） radio telescope，officially opened to the world on March 31.

    "FAST provides astronomical （天文的） capabilities not available anywhere else in the world.Astronomers and physicists who need those capabilities will surely take advantage of China's generosity in making the tools widely available，Joseph Taylor Jr.，told China Daily.
