Radio telescope tour

We will again have a tour of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's facilities at Green Bank, West Virginia.

The 2008 tour will be a "behind-the-scenes" tour, so participants will get to visit labs and the telescope control room--locations that are normally off-limits to the public!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Cameras are welcome. In order to prevent radio-frequency interference to observations in progress, the observatory prohibits the use of digital cameras (and electronics-laden film cameras) in some locations close to the telescopes. Bring a simple film camera if you'd like to get some pictures up close to the instruments.

Planned agenda

9:00 am – Depart The Mountain Institute
10:30 am – Arrive at NRAO
12:00 pm – Lunch
1:30 pm – Depart NRAO
3:00 pm – Return to The Mountain Institute

We'll post additional details to this page as they become available. Please check back again.
