Located in rural Pocahonas county, the Green Bank Observatory is one of the most high tech science centers in the world. The observatory is home of the GBT (Green Bank Telescope), the world's largest (100 meters wide) fully steerable radio telescope. Students as well as the general public can visit the observatory and Science Center any time of the year.
