However, the dish of the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope is 2.34 acres large and measures 300 feet in diameter—quite a bit larger than the average West Virginia driveway. So, how exactly ...

In this paper, we describe the implementation of an optical quadrant detector instrument that can detect and provide a correction signal for wind-induced pointing errors on the 100 m diameter Green ...

Magnetic fields billions of light years away offer clues to the nature of intense flashes from the sky known as fast radio bursts. Many telescopes use the radio spectrum to learn about the cosmos ...
