The Daocheng Solar Radio Telescope (DSRT) is under construction on a plateau in Sichuan province, southwest China. When completed, it will consist of 313 dishes, each with a diameter of 19.7 feet (6 meters), forming a circle with a circumference of 1.95 miles (3.14 kilometers).
The telescope array will image the sun in radio waves to study coronal mass ejections (CMEs), large eruptions of charged particles from the sun's upper atmosphere, the corona.
The project also includes the Chinese Spectral Radioheliograph for monitoring solar activity, which is being constructed (opens in new tab)in Inner Mongolia.
The radioheliograph will consist of 100 dishes in a three-arm spiral arrangement and will study the sun in a wider band of frequencies than DSRT to further Chinese research of the sun, solar physics and space weather.
The entire project aims to run close to 300 instruments deployed at 31 stations across China at specific longitudes and latitudes. It is led by the National Space Science Center (NSSC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and involves more than 10 institutions and universities in China.

This might actually allow them to predict “Climate Change” more than our doom and gloom crowd.
To what end? If the sun drastically erupts with a massive flair nothing will stop it and they’ll be no place to hide. A gigantic solar flair would literally cook the inner planets and blow the atmosphere off Jupiter.
Bet they can be redirected to study our activities in space.
It will tell them when and for how long American communications will be disrupted.
Planning to build giant Archimedes lenses to burn their enemies to a crisp?
This sort of how China began in “The Three Body Problem”.
Just another nefarious attempt by the chinese overlords to
take over the entire world.
That’s the first thing I thought of as well.
Never trust a Chicomm!
This is not aboout climate change. Its about studyng the suns massive fusion process. The Chinese want to create a way for a fusion generator right here on earth.That would make them unstoppable.
No, that would not happen.
Yep. Pretty good books.

Let ‘em. It’s no threat to us whatsoever, as far as I can see... Sure, they’ll be studying the sun, the most awesome nuclear reactor in these parts of the galactic woods. But the chance they’ll be able to turn any knowledge gained into a weapon... ZERO, imho. So let ‘em. There are far more productive avenues of study for bomb builders.
No jokes about what planet San Fagsicko is building to inspect eruptions.
Huh?
“No jokes about what planet San Fagsicko is building to inspect eruptions.”
“Great minds” think alike. When they can detect/inspect eruptions on Uranus, perhaps they can put a stop to the “Pox” that’s being passed around by “men that have sex with other men”.
This sounds like something we should’ve thought of first.
You are a humorless mod as well.............
