Green Bank

Green Bank is a small town in West Virginia known for its large, specialized radio telescope located at the Green Bank Observatory. This telescope, called the Green Bank Telescope, is one of the world's largest fully steerable radio dishes. It is used by scientists to study space phenomena such as stars, galaxies, and cosmic signals by detecting radio waves rather than visible light. The town's environment is carefully protected to prevent radio interference, allowing for precise astronomical observations. Green Bank is a hub for scientific research, contributing significantly to our understanding of the universe.
