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.
