The Green Bank Observatory is a scientific facility located in Green Bank, West Virginia. It is home to the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, the largest fully steerable radio telescope in the world. The observatory is dedicated to radio astronomy, allowing scientists to study celestial objects and phenomena. Established in 1956, the observatory plays a crucial role in various research projects, including the search for extraterrestrial intelligence and the study of pulsars and galaxies. Its remote location in the National Radio Quiet Zone minimizes radio frequency interference, making it an ideal site for sensitive astronomical observations.
