f/Stop: The Green Bank Radio Telescope



Lucy and I visited the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Green Bank, West Virginia. The Autumn colors dramatically contrasted with the huge disk of the Green Bank Telescope, seen above from nearly a mile's distance (the closest one can come to the sensitive instrument with a digital camera without interfering with its operations).  A beautiful day, and a remarkable facility hidden in the WV mountains!
