This is a Green Bank Telescope appreciation post

the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) is located in Green Bank, WV

The GBT is a radio telescope, which means it collects electromagnetic radiation in the form of radio waves instead of visible light, allowing scientists to observe things that can’t be seen through a normal telescope.

The GBT is 485 ft tall, making it 180 ft taller than the Statue of Liberty and 31 feet taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza!

The GBT weighs 17 million pounds. All of that weight is distributed across 16 wheels, meaning each wheel holds over 1 million pounds of weight!

The dish itself is 328 feet in diameter, making the GBT the world’s largest fully steerable radio telescope!!

The GBT is currently being used for a project called Breakthrough Listen, which is an effort by SETI (the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) to detect radio waves coming from potentially alien technology.

The GBT is so sensitive that only diesel vehicles are allowed near the telescope, since spark plugs generate too much radio interference.

Surrounding the GBT is a roughly 13,000 square mile zone known as the National Radio Quiet Zone. The NRQZ encompasses areas of West Virginia, Virginia, and a very small part of Maryland.

The Green Bank Observatory, which houses the GBT, has numerous other telescopes which have made various important discoveries. An interferometer made of three 85-foot telescopes at the observatory discovered the black hole Sagittarius A* in 1974!

You can visit the Green Bank Observatory and see the telescope yourself! They offer tours and it’s really cool :)

99% of repressors give up right before they successfully don't feel anything. Don't stop shoving it down. You can get through this unscathed

When I was a kid (like age 12-15ish) sometimes I’d get super paranoid that someone on the train or in public was reading my mind and at first it made me worry that they’d see what I was thinking and think I was a bad person but after a while I started just responding to the paranoia by thinking at them like “what the fuck bro, this is a huge invasion of privacy, what is wrong with you. mind your damn business” and yes it was weird but you know what?? It worked

Hi guys is. Is this anything.

I still think it’s crazy that other people’s periods come at predictable and trackable intervals. I always assumed that was a lie made up by period tracking companies or some shit tbh

Not sure if this will help anyone but sometimes I need to hear this so maybe y’all will too.

Your worth is not linked to your productivity. It is not a moral failing if you have missing assignments, or you can’t work, or you just forget to do things. It’s ok.
