The Green Bank Observatory (GBO) is an astronomical observatory and radio astronomy research facility that operates the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT), the world's largest fully steerable radio telescope. GBO enables research at radio wavelengths, offering access to telescopes, facilities, and advanced instrumentation to the global scientific community. Located in the National Radio Quiet Zone, it detects faint radio signals, supporting studies of gravitational waves, near-Earth objects, and various astrophysical phenomena. Key partners include the National Science Foundation (NSF), West Virginia University, and organizations involved in projects like Breakthrough Listen and NANOGrav.
