The largest telescope in the world is the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) in China, completed in 2016. It measures 500 meters in diameter and is designed for exploring the universe by studying pulsars and other celestial phenomena. Previously, the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico held the record for the largest telescope until its decommissioning in 2020.
