Construction began this month on an observatory in Southwest China that will look for waves in space created by the Big Bang.
The observatory is being built on a plateau 5,000 meters above sea level in the Tibet autonomous region's Ali district, which has been identified as one of the best places in the Northern Hemisphere for possibly observing primordial gravitational waves.
The observatory is expected to be finished in five years.
