A Chinese telescope has collected data on more than seven million stars, exceeding the sum of all existing spectroscopic data on stars, making it the world’s largest database in the field.

The Guo Shoujing telescope, named after a 13th-century Chinese astronomer, is operated by the National Astronomical Observatories under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which recently released the findings.
