On April 17, the reporter learned from the FAST Operation and Development Center of the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that more than 900 new pulsars have been discovered in the "China Sky Eye", which is more than three times the total number of pulsars discovered by other telescopes in the same period in the world, which has greatly expanded the limit of human observation of the universe.
Han Jinlin, head of the National Astronomical Observatories' Yindaodou Pulsar Survey Project, said that most of the more than 900 new pulsars discovered by the "China Sky Eye" are faint pulsars that are difficult to detect by other telescopes in the world. If "searching for stars" is compared to picking fruits, "China Sky Eye" picks "far fruits". (Reporter: Ou Dongqu, Pan Dexin, Zheng Minghong)
