Green Bank Telescope

The Green Bank Telescope, located in West Virginia, is one of the world's largest fully steerable radio telescopes, used for exploring the universe through radio waves. Its massive dish, 100 meters across, collects faint signals from space, helping scientists study phenomena like pulsars, galaxies, and cosmic signals. The telescope’s design allows it to move smoothly in different directions, enabling detailed and flexible observations. It plays a vital role in expanding our understanding of the universe, complementing optical telescopes, by capturing signals beyond visible light. Its size and technology make it a powerful tool for astrophysical research.
