Item Description
The Green Bank Telescope (GBT) is a 100-m radio telescope that is
part of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO). It is located
in the radio-quiet zone in Green Bank, WV. At 17 million pounds and 485
feet tall, the GBT is the largest movable object on land. The GBT is
used to study a wide range of objects, including; galaxy clusters,
astrochemistry, dark matter, and pulsars. More about the GBT and its
science can be found here: https://public.nrao.edu/telescopes/gbt/gbt-basics
This item for auction is a tour of the Green Bank Telescope site (https://public.nrao.edu/explorer/gbt/TheGBTExplorer.php)
which is home to 10 radio telescopes and a science center. In addition,
the tour will include the opportunity to go up onto the GBT. If the
auction winners wish to go onto the GBT, tour times will be restricted
to summer (due to telescope scheduling) and adults over the age of 18.
All ages are welcome to participate in the site tour and we will provide
supervision at the hands-on exhibit in the science center for younger
children if desired.
