At present, the "China Sky Eye" has entered a period of explosive growth in results. Since the beginning of this year, it has released a number of important results, including the discovery of a pulsar binary system with an orbital period of only 53 minutes and the detection of key evidence of the existence of nanohertz gravitational waves, continuing to maintain my country's international leading position in low-frequency radio astronomy.
