World’s Largest Fully Steerable Radio Telescope Risks Shut-Down


One year after a controversial recommendation to cancel its National 
Science Foundation (NSF) funding, the Green Bank Telescope in West 
Virginia, the world’s largest fully steerable radio telescope, is 
searching for new partners to help support its $10-million annual 
operating costs.In the face of these potentially 
life-threatening cuts, some additional sources of revenue have been 
found—but the big telescope’s future still hangs in the balance.
