The Green Bank Telescope

Filed under: Astronomy,School,West Virginia — Tags: , , — George Privon @ 00:57

About two and a half weeks ago, the radio astronomy class I’m taking went on a field trip to Green Bank, WV to visit the NRAO site there. The trip was planned for a maintenance day specifically so we would be able to go up on the world’s largest fully steerable telescope: the Green Bank Telescope.

We had a fantastic time, and were also able to tour the 43m equatorial radio telescope at the same site. I’ve finally gotten pictures uploaded from the trip. Here are a few, with a link below to the full set on flickr.
