China is in the final stages (Sept 2016) of building the world's largest-ever radio telescope, will give Beijing a leading role in space research and the hunt for extraterrestrials.

With a dish the size of 30 football pitches, the telescope will scan for signs of life as far as tens of billions of light years away.

It will be able to pick up radio signals distant galaxies and solar systems, and also hunt for future sources of energy like natural hydrogen
