China completes world's largest solar telescope array with 1.9-mile-wide ring of 313 dishes that will stare STRAIGHT into the sun and study how its behavior impacts Earth

中国建成全球最大的太阳望远镜阵，这个由313个碟形圆盘组成的周长1.9英里的环形望远镜阵将紧盯太阳，研究太阳对地球的影响

China has completed construction on the world's largest array of telescopes that will be pointed directly at the sun to study how its behavior impacts Earth.

The Daocheng Solar Radio Telescope (DSRT), which is located on a plateau in Sichuan province of southwest China, is composed of 313 dishes. Each one has a diameter of 19.7 feet and together they form a circle with a circumference of 1.95 miles.

The massive arrangement of scientific machinery, which cost $14 million, is set to study solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CME) - both of which can have a negative impact on electronics, power grids and satellites.

A CME is a huge cloud of electrically charged particles that gets heated to super-hot temperatures and then ejected with a burst of speed by the energy released in a solar flare.

'We can forecast whether a solar storm bursts toward the Earth,' Wu Lin, deputy chief designer, Ring Array Solar Radio Imaging Telescope Project, said. 'We will be able to issue early warning to such a solar storm. In this way, we can provide space environment forecasts for normal operation of satellites in space and power grids on ground,' told CCTV+, per Space.com.

The array will begin a pilot operation in June 2023, upon completion of further alignment testing.

中国已建成全球最大的望远镜阵，这些望远镜将紧盯太阳，研究太阳的行为对地球的影响。

稻城太阳射电望远镜(DSRT)位于中国西南部四川省的高原上，由313个圆盘组成。每一个圆盘的直径为19.7英尺，它们一起形成一个周长为1.95英里的圆。

这一耗资1400万美元的大型科学设备将研究太阳耀斑和日冕物质喷发(CME)——这两种现象都可能对电子设备、电网和卫星产生负面影响。

日冕物质喷发是一个巨大的带电粒子云，它被加热到超高温，然后被太阳耀斑释放的能量以爆发性速度喷射出去。

环阵列太阳射电成像望远镜项目副总设计师吴林说：“”我们可以预测太阳风暴会不会冲向地球。我们能对这样的太阳风暴发出早期预警，为太空卫星和地面电网的正常运行提供预测。”

该阵列将在2023年6月完成进一步校准测试后开始试点操作。

Scientists say that a 'canyon-like' cavity in the sun's atmosphere known as a coronal hole will launch a solar storm towards Earth tomorrow.

According to experts, solar wind – a continual stream of charged particles – could be emitted from the hole and head towards Earth at staggering speeds of up to 1.8 million miles per hour, could reach Earth on December 1.

Experts say the solar storm could cause power grid fluctuations and orientation irregularities for spacecraft in the form of 'increased drag' on low-Earth orbiters.

An aurora from the storm will be viewable in the north of Scotland, weather permitting, a Met Office spokesperson also told MailOnline.

科学家们称，太阳大气层中一个被称为日冕洞的 "峡谷形 "空洞将在明天向地球发起一场太阳风暴。

据专家称，太阳风——持续不断的带电粒子流——可能会从黑洞中逸出，以高达180万英里每小时的惊人速度冲向地球，可能在12月1日抵达地球。

专家表示，太阳风暴可能会“增加近地轨道飞行器的阻力”，导致电网波动和航天器的方向紊乱。

英国气象局发言人还告诉《每日邮报》网站，如果天气条件良好，苏格兰北部可以观看到太阳风暴带来的极光。

以下是英国每日邮报读者的评论：

14 million? Why do I get the feeling it would have cost 1.4 billion if built in the West?

耗资1400万美元？为什么我觉得如果是西方来建，可能得耗资14亿？

Just_Sarcasm

Who care, they cant compete with us.

谁在乎呢，他们没法跟我们比。

Juggernaut4444

China is building things like this and America has a bald weird nuclear energy thing that steals bags. have we really fallen that far.

中国大力建设这种尖端设备，而美国搞出了一个光秃秃、样子古怪的核能设备。我们真的落后到那个地步了吗？

Entropic collapse

Watch out they don't claim the Sun, then charge the rest of us for enjoying its heat and light. Even put some naval bases up there, once they've worked out the technology.

小心点哦，别到时候说太阳是他们的，伸手向我们收取太阳光热费。只要他们掌握了技术手段，搞不好还会去太阳上建基地呢。

Ran Dom Guy

These dish telescopes can be used to transmit as well as receive. So if the ever wanted to blind our satellites, here you go - built under the guise of astronomy.

这些碟形望远镜既可接收也可发射。所以，如果他们想让我们的卫星失去信号，这不就来了——他们是打着天文学的幌子建的这个望远镜阵。

Catch-42

Directing iron-based asteroids to impact Mars in order to create a more active magnetic field would help the possibility of terraforming the Red Planet. How the earth's atmosphere is protected from the Sun's ablative nature could explain the interest here.

引导铁基小行星撞击火星，创造更活跃的磁场，将有助于提高火星环境地球化的可能性。地球大气层是如何免受太阳烧蚀性质的影响的，或许可以得到解释。

Baobabs

So they can watch and track their ?

这么说他们能监视并跟踪人了？

paraparam

China does nothing unless it is also detrimental to the west. The west needs to be shutting down their spy agencies around the world

除非能给西方制造点麻烦，否则中国不会采取任何行动。西方得关闭世界各地的间谍机构了。

Fantajack

This isn't about studying the sun they are researching ways to block satellite communications in their country

他们并没有在研究太阳，他们研究的是如何屏蔽国内的卫星通信

Krankenhaus

Do we actually believe it is a telescope array? Nope, it is a state of the art system for disrupting our commercial and military satellite communications systems.

我们真的会相信这是望远镜阵列？不，这是扰乱我们商业和军事卫星通信系统的最先进系统。

Very impressive.

真牛掰。

Potentially dangerous to the eyesight. Don't try this at home.

这对视力有潜在危害。千万别在家里尝试。

Next thing you know China will be staring straight into Uranus.

你知道的，接下来中国就会紧盯天王星了。

PrayReally

Earth now not enough for ? Want to control the universe too?

地球现在已经不能满足中国了？你们还想控制宇宙了？

General rubbish

its real purpose is to send cosmic covid Ray's into the universe causing another terrible ac dent...

他们的真正目的是向宇宙发射冠状射线，制造一场可怕的事故……

CentralLondoner

dear lord, there's absolutely NO doubt china is going to take over by a country mile from the USA which is really on the way out.

亲爱的主啊，我敢说中国将把美国远远甩在身后，而美国正一步步走向衰败。

henryford1958

They probably have an old map and will claim the sun belongs to them.

他们可能会翻出一张旧地图，说太阳也归他们所有。

We are full

I wonder if they would share knowledge of something dangerous with the rest of the world? Unlikely methinks.

我想知道他们会不会跟其他国家分享这些威胁，我想不太可能吧。

Mrnewzealand

Am glad the dm told me the sun was called the sun.

真开心，每日邮报说了太阳的名字是“太阳”。

Made in China, probably collapse in a couple of months

中国制造，也许几个月就塌了。

HappyFarmer

They are copying it, and will sell a cheaper Sun of inferior quality on Amazon.

他们正在复刻太阳，然后在亚马逊出售便宜劣质的太阳。

in the book they send a signal into the sun to amplify it the signal is intended for a alien race

cheapest big project ever. anywhere else the land would cost most of that if not more.

这是史上耗资最低的大型项目了。换做其他国家，可能单单土地就得花掉这个数。
