The Green Bank Telescope Snaps New Hot Photos of the Moon
Oct 1, 2019 | GBO, General, Science
This unusual view of the Moon, made with the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), shows the glow from the Moon’s heat revealing features undetectable to an ordinary telescope that sees only reflected light. This image was made using a new, extremely sensitive radio camera...
Most Massive Neutron Star Ever Detected, Almost too Massive to Exist
Astronomers using the GBT have discovered the most massive neutron star to date, a rapidly spinning pulsar approximately 4,600 light-years from Earth. This record-breaking object is teetering on the edge of existence, approaching the theoretical maximum mass possible...
