Is there life on distant planets? How did the universe get started? Can humans find other worlds in which to live? Nobody knows the answers to these questions. They have remained mysteries since the dawn of time. But just maybe the FAST Telescope will provide the answers. The most powerful telescope in the world was built in a remote area of China. It has already received signals from many light years away. The FAST Telescope is a marvel of engineering. It is no wonder that millions of people have flocked to the area to feast their eyes upon it and learn all about it. But readers need not visit China to catch a glimpse and find out more. They can do that just by opening this book. What is in these pages is truly remarkable.
