Summer Students at Green Bank

Every summer, Green Bank welcomes a selected group of undergraduates for several months of intense research experience. They come from around the country. Many of these students shown here are now professional astronomers working around the world. They are sitting on one of the old radio-quiet diesel vehicles used to drive around the observatory.
