Face of the 40-foot
A nearly face-on view of the 40-foot radio telescope in Green Bank, the worlds first automated radio telescope. Its surface is a fine mesh, because it does not need to be as accurate as other radio telescopes that observe higher frequencies. Visiting students use this telescope for astronomical observing projects each year.
