Radio Astronomy Field Trip to Green Bank WV

This week we had the amazing opportunity to spend 3 days at National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank W.V. 

We toured the control areas of the facility, operated a 40 foot radio telescope, climbed up the largest equitorial radio telescope in the world, bonded over some amazing karaoke and were given incredible instruction by the staff. 

My understanding of radio astronomy has increased by at least 10 x 26th janskies.

Signing off 1420.41.
